NOW it's done!


The Gentleman, 2010. 19" x 19", charocal and pastel on cream Canson Mi-Teintes.

I worked on this piece just a tad more---I wasn't happy with his ears the first time around. Ears are sometimes really hard to get right---even after drawing them for so many years! Horses use their ears for their expression, and getting their position correct is vital. So, I went back, changed the ears, made his gentle eye bigger and softer, and added a smidge of color. Now, he's done.

The Gentleman's muse was a big, proud baroque stallion. He's a perfect gentleman, passing his nobility, beauty, talent and sweet personality to his progeny. And I think he's a big cutie. *smile*
