Still Painting Ponies

Continued from yesterday.

layers

First came the layers.

WIP

Then came the idea. But first you have to flip the layers around.

"Spotted Ponies and a Thousand Blasts of Sun"

Here it is almost finished. Almost. I’m looking at the photo and thinking ohhh, I could do this. And this. So don’t be surprised if I come back next week with an other edition. It’s all about evolving. And experimenting. And having fun with it.

Technical info: 3’X4′, acrylic on canvas. Seems like acrylic brings out the whimsey in me. Not sure why. My absolute favorite part? The two horses running along the top right. Got a loosey-goosey feel to them that I want to pursue.
