Sky and The Christmas Donkeys

Finished 'Sky', (AKA Woody) Oil on Linen yesterday.

I also managed to finished one of my Christmas Kissing Donkeys...one to go.

Christmas Kissing Donkeys and a Saddle!

I decided to do a Christmas card for all my lovely customers and collectors, two donkeys kissing under the mistletoe, (I'll add that later) in pastels....rough sketch:

Getting there:

Got the basics down, detail next...

Another new project is this saddle, it's oil on linen. I have left the linen on show as I think it will really suit the subject, here's the underpainting...

Sky and The south East of England International Horse Trials

Here's a new painting in progress that I started a few days ago, it's called sky.

I will be taking him to the South of England International Horse Trials at Ardingly on Saturday and Sunday where I will be painting in the main Pavillion with a few of my paintings, please come and say hello if you are there.
