This lovely horse had to be put to sleep when very young. Very sad. It's just over A3 and in oils. I've laboured over this one because it was for someone who worked for us and horses are not my forte and I wanted to get it right if you know what I mean so it's probably a tad overworked. BTW if anyone would like me to do a portrait of some kind for them (free of course) please message me as I've come to an impasse as to what/who to do next!
