Work in Progress: Impressions from Scottsdale Arabian show

Here's the result of this morning's painting session. This is a rough underpainting/first layer to one of my paintings based on my impressions and sketches from watching the Scottsdale Arabian show via a livefeed. 


All a bit rough at the moment especially the legs as I'm still deciding their finer points so please disregard strange legs!

Some rough sketches, Scottsdale Arabian show


Currently I am enjoying watching the Scottsdale Arabian Show, Arizona from thousands of miles away in England via the iequine livefeed. I've been feeling very inspired watching lots of different classes (such variety!) and been working on the challenge of sketching "live" from the livefeed. 

Here are two rough sketches from one costume class. I'm feeling very inspired and now working on some mini (7" x 5") and composite paintings from what has inspired me -- my impressions -- at the Scottsdale show.
