BayInspired by a beautiful Oldenburger horse portrait this Bay horse is now one of my favourite pieces, painted in traditional Acrylic I love it and hope you will to. This is actually my first acrylic painting! I’ve tried this medium a few times but never clicked with it, I tried again recently and I’ve finally got the hang of it in fact I think I now love it!

This portrait is one that is so important to me I’ve had this incredible pup over 7 years and its about time she had her own portrait that really represented her. This is the first portrait I’ve ever done in this style so its extra special!

I absolutely adore cows so when I saw the reference photo of the calf I was so inspired! I haven’t used graphite in a very long time as I’ve never been much of a fan of the medium but I’ve been converted.
