"Stop v. 2019" finished

Excited about the new painting just finished as it was a change in focus…painting a subject in a different high-powered equestrian discipline, Reining, in advance of some exciting upcoming art expositions. This is an 100x73cm oils on linen painting of Wimpys Little Colonel. Thank you Cam Essick for the use of the stunning reference photo capturing the 2009 Quarter Horse Stallion / 2013 NRBC Reserve Champion performing the reining sliding stop.  An amazing movement portrayed with an intense splash of color and play on light.   

This is a snip-it of the original painting. A full view of the painting can be found on my website under "Gallery/ Fresh off the easel".
