I painted this incredible blue eyed Overo Paint horse from reference photos I had taken in Oklahoma a few months ago. It was incredibly windy that day, (which is usually the case whenever I'm there,) and I loved her windblown mane and the soft overcast light. I fell in love with this horse and took quite a few photos of her, so don't be surprised if she turns up again.

I started a large (30 x 30") painting of a Brahma (or Brahman) bull, but took some time out to paint this black bear - I wanted to experiment with some thicker, looser paint applications before I tried them on the big bull, and thought this small (10 x 8") would be good practice. I'm happy to say this painting has already sold.
