I wanted to do something special for my sister-in-law’s birthday this year. With her love of horses, it was easy to figure out what to paint for her. 🙂 Using a 5×7 die-cut wood panel I kept the color palette simple with white, blue, pink and black. I did  very light washes of color to establish where I wanted to the highlights to be.

Working more details into the painting, it’s starting to come together.

Final detail touches. I added some pink hues to add a sense of warmth.
