        This is based on another reference by Gary Odell. I’m learning a little more about painting horses each time I venture into it. 11×14 oil. C&C welcome.

        I know nothing about painting horses and will not go there. I do love your ability to push chroma and still keep a painting believable. Very nice warm/cool contrast. Gary

            Thanks Gary, your comment about not going there made me smile. I have a few places in painting in a similar category. The chroma and believable aspects always keep me challenged.

                Your use of color always blows me away – you create your own, special world with color – I think this is beautiful!

                    Horses have a little more chest & shoulder muscle, see how he looks fuller in the belly & rump and his front looks small?
                    Also with the front leg coming forward for a step that leading shoulder & chest would be fuller..
                    The head , neck & top line look very nice.
                    Might be a bit of shadow under him, depending on lighting angle.

                        Thank you CaliAnn.
                        Thanks JMW. Yes, improvement is on the horizon.

                            Loads of character/expression in the horse. The high chroma red, yellow, green and green/blue works for me also.

                                        Lisa, I love paintings with horses and this is just so dynamic and beautifully done.
                                        Your palettes always just sing with wonderful colour…nice movement here too with the horse. Well done .

                                                Wonderful colours as always. Your horses always look so wild, free and spirited: just how they should.

                                                        Gutsy use of yellow and red. I like that. Nice contrast of cool and warm colors.
