Description For those of you who saw my sneak peek, I finally got a good picture taken outside without too much colour distortion.

This is an 18x24" acrylic painting. When I don't know what to title things, I pick the names of favourite songs. I used a photo by Bob Langrish as a reference, and you can see step by step how it progressed ([link] ). I actually started this back in summer, gave up and finished it over my Christmas holiday.

Thanks Nadja I love getting your thumbs up of approval! I agree, it's my best horse picture yet It's funny, I only did use about four or five colours total...lots and lots of raw sienna!
