After many, many, many, many hours, I do believe I am finished. Now, if only I could figure out a way to generate an income from art! Sigh.

Having finally finished painting the trees (which took a few days), I added some contrast to the foreground grass as well as around the base of the trees in order to anchor them to the ground, and here you see me painting the base colour for the moon. A constellation of stars to follow soon.

My horse hero after he has been attacked by his paint wielding nemesis on the right hand side of the painting. She had applied the same blue eye shadow and pink blush to her horse as she has to herself.
Think I just made a horse today

So this is what I have been working on in the last day or two. I am quite happy with him, but the trouble is, on the right side of the canvas which is cropped out here, is a little girl with a bucket of paint in her hand. She has just finished applying makeup to this horse (but it isn’t on yet). So the point of this painting was that she has just tried to ‘humanify’ this beautiful creature by smearing it with red lipstick and eyeshadow, making it beautiful in her eyes because it is like her, but in actuality quite disturbingly grotesque. My dilemma is, I don’t want to smear his face with lipstick and eyeshadow! He looks lovely just the way he is! But then, that is the whole point….. humph.

This is a drawing for a new painting. I was thinking of titling ‘Thou Wilst Submit’ but then a friend suggested ‘Hello little girl, fancy meeting you here’.
The final finished painting is HERE.
