I finished this oil  painting last week.  18" x 24" 

The models are horse trainer  Zeek Zacharias and my mare Duchess. 

We trailered  to their place for the photo shoot last fall.

The early photos in the shoot look like Duchess had a gallon of espresso, she was wound up and nervous from being some were new.

About a half an hour in she finally settled down and I got some nice shots to work from.

I enjoy the relaxed and simple feel of the painting.
