Portraits

I painted this on canvas that was exceptionally smooth, it changed the way it was applied. I like how the horses are blending into the background. There are so few of these beautiful creatures left, I felt like they should look like they were dissappearing.

Golden Choctaw revised

I revised the golden choctaw again, I shortened the nose and added pinks to enhance the sunset that is creating the golden glow. I changed the intense blue nose to more of a gray with hints of blue. This painting needs a home; if I don't find one soon, I fear I will just continue to find things to change.
