"A Girl & Her Pony"

28"x22" Oil on Belgian Linen Canvas

This is a portrait of a young woman and her award-winning pony.  She and he have worked so hard to earn so many ribbons in so many different categories.  

This young woman has been the catalyst to their winnings because she was the one to train him since she was a little girl (I want to say 6 or 7 years old).  She is now about 16 years old and has "out grown" him (she is too tall to compete with him as he is just a small pony).

So we memorialized their sweet relationship in this portrait.

This little one-year-old is such a cutie. . . I asked if I could take her picture so that I might try to paint her pookie little lips and bright, big eyes.  This was such a joy for me to work on!
