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.

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!

11 Photographs from Verona for 11/11/11


 1.

Featuring Shanghai EA who went on to be junior male champion. A truly ethereal colt who will definitely be a model for future paintings.

2.
Top three mares in a class, nicely standing in order of greying-out with handlers (shirts at least) also matching white to black.

3.
Featuring a filly with great attitude and presence.

4.

Contrast between the mare and the background, and a sense of solitude despite a busy ring and crowd!

5.


A common problem when taking photographs from the ringside, especially at such a busy show with a somewhat transitory audience.

6. 

Esparto, a stallion I enjoyed seeing at this show in 2009 and who I was very pleased to see again in 2011!

7.
 

Always a pleasure to see horses from Sax Arabians...

8.


...just as it is always a pleasure to see horses from Polish state studs!

9.


A view from a stallion class.


 10.


The lovely LVA Maximus, bronze senior champion.

11.


And finally a view of stallion and set-dressing, grey gold and black.
