New painting, Arabian filly

Arabian filly Aja Europa at Menton, 2013

Oil on 24" x 18" board 

Aja Europa -- bred by Aja Arabians, owned by the Royal Cavalry of Oman.

I recently completed this painting of an Arabian filly I saw at the 

Menton Arabian horse show in June. I knew I'd never be able to pick 

just one pose of Aja Europa so I settled on 5 (though the original

sketch for this painting had 7 poses!). 

I could easily work a second compilation of poses of this filly but 

my attention now turns to paintings inspired by other horses seen 

at the Menton Arabian show.

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.

Two photos from yesterday's showjumping championship

Sharing two photographs from a showjumping championship where I was attending on behalf of EQ Life magazine.

Polo pics

Earlier this week I was at Langley Abbey to take photos from a polo match for EQ Life magazine. 

Here are a few photos I have posted as a peak!

Photograph from today

Brr! This was my last horse shot of the day today before all horses and humans loaded up to go get warm after plenty of hard work. I'd been photographing a showjumping clinic which was very informative and good to watch, especially considering the sizes of some jumps!

 

Class winning Welsh Section C pony

Sharing a photograph from a local show this past weekend where I was attending as a correspondent for EQ Life magazine. It had been a frosty drive to the show and remained cold all day yet was worth the chill to see the entries which were plenty of lovely mountain and moorland ponies.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Work in progress, layer 2

Recently finished the second layer on one of my many paintings I am working on for 2012: 

22"x 18" oil on canvas board

Well, second layer on the mare since the background is layer one which does not matter too much at this stage. Now I happy with composition I can work on layering up detail and contrast on this painting. 

I am still deciding which paintings I will offer limited edition prints from... think this one will be a contender but just have to wait and see how it develops!
