I'm almost finished the horse painting I started last fall. This is the first time I've ever reworked a painting over and over this much. It still looks unfinished in these pictures. These are a few of the stages it's gone through, but hopefully I can finish it shortly, and put it aside. Also here's a picture of Lance eating a tree. Clearly he doesn't get fed enough.
This last one was probably a big mistake. It's a bigger canvas than I've ever worked on and I wanted to paint a very black horse on white. But how it looks in your mind is never how it turns out. I wanted a lot of negative space mostly at the top with a back view of the horse standing. So like the other one, this one I've been reworking and reworking and reworking. The backview turned into a 3/4 back view, the standing turned into a trot, the smaller horse turned into a larger horse, and now I'm debating my choices. The proportions look quite off, due to the angle that I took the picture at. I'm not sure if I'll scrap this one or if I'll continue.
