One big challenge when  photographing art is that the dark colors tend to reflect light, unless I take a picture of the piece at a weird angle.  This painting was all of that, as I had a difficult time getting a photo that did it justice, because it is beautiful in actuality.  

Horse Portrait   $99   October painting a day #7

The darks with glare are not really there, I am taking a chance and just posting it anyway.  I love the high contrast in this, it really makes the horse pop in this dramatic painting.  I had a great time painting this one.  Although most of my followers expect cows, it has been fantastic painting different subjects.  I am still a day behind, because I finished this last night and will be doing #8 today.  Stay tuned!
