Helpful Studies

I skipped yesterday but made up for it today with 2 PADs. These are both studies for a painting I am planning. I'm working from a couple of photos and like the layout of the 3 horses under the tree (although I've flipped the direction of one horse from the original). The original photo is taken in the spring with the main tree green. Although this helps provide more contrast between the trees and the horses, I don't think it as interesting picture as using the fall colors. These are both 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" pastels. Comments?

Final Wall-Paintings

These are the final paintings for the wall-paintings I did for the nursery and toddler's room. It took a few revisions to get the right "look" but it was worth it! I wasn't sure if I was up to this type of painting genre, but I really enjoyed the project and I'm looking forward to pursuing more. The customer gave me some contact information for a store interested in artists so it is a new direction for me to pursue!
