Often, when I am painting, I think that if horses could do self portraits, they might be something like the ones I am painting!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-4437605520879667732013-02-05T16:59:59.970-08:002013-02-05T16:59:59.970-08:00Sooo glad you like them, Kathryn! :)Sooo glad you like them, Kathryn! :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-50642816499044001992013-02-05T16:59:10.611-08:002013-02-05T16:59:10.611-08:00Pam, I have years of equine photography under my b...Pam, I have years of equine photography under my belt - racetrack, rodeos, hunter derby, auctions, horse shows, etc. and, coming from a medical background, I have a good understanding of anatomy and physiology which helps me a lot. In this series, I generally use several photos for each painting, draw what I am thinking and then attack the canvas. As you can probably see, I use a lot of artistic license as well!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-58684119322673430062013-02-05T16:52:58.043-08:002013-02-05T16:52:58.043-08:00LOL - I have always have a deep fascination with a...LOL - I have always have a deep fascination with and love for these incredibly beautiful beasts.
