Snow Play Arabian Horse Art ACEO Painting in Progress

Arabian Horse Art ACEO Painting

So I am finally starting another “painting in progress”. Though I’m not sure how my right hand will hold up. The last couple weeks it has been getting numb and tingly on me whenever I try to do much with it because of swelling from pregnancy. I may just have to take lots of breaks and take a little more time for now. 

I think this one is going to turn out beautifully though. There are times when I’m trying to draw the first sketch for a painting and I wonder,, “Do I even know how to draw??” I end up erasing and starting over untill it finally comes together,, but for this one, the horse just flowed right out and I only had to fix a couple little things.  Now I usually end up fixing a few more things once I get started painting the horse, but for the rough sketch, this turned out just the way I wanted it to.

So this is going to be a snow scene with lots of snow covered trees in the background and some of the grey sky showing through. The fence in the middle ground will be topped with snow and I’m thinking of maybe putting some sort of winter type bird or squirrel on top of the fence, or maybe just a nice white snow rabbit running out of the horses way as he charges playfully through the snow.  I haven’t quite decided yet on the color of the horse. Maybe a lovely sorrel with flaxen mane and tail and some nice high white socks that almost go to his knees,, or a black Arabian….. Anyway, any suggestions are certainly welcome. I’ll need to make my mind up by tonight though, as I plan on starting on it tonight and hopefully finishing it too, although this is one that might need 2 nights to get it the way I want especially with my hand acting up.

Well, that’s that. I’ll post another pic probably tomorrow morning of it in progress and I hope you enjoy!
