Two renderings done 20 years apart. The oil on left is one of two of these that I did 20 years ago. The watercolor on right was just rendered recently. I love the ownership/love connection between the mother and foal: The mother for the foal. The foal for the mother. It rings loud and clear whether in oils or w/c. Interesting the different color choices give a slightly different presentation, but the two stay connected in each.
Technique Tip: Choose subjects that will evoke some emotion when they are viewed. Remember that you, the artist, are a viewer also and can let the "mood" wash over you as you paint. R...

Left OIL: (16 x 20") in private collection; Right w/c: (10 3/4 x 14 1/4")
Both are beautiful Ruth.
ReplyDeleteRich and beautiful! Love the background in the oil and the transparent shadows in the watercolor! What fun to go back and paint the same subject again!
