" Blue Eyed Pinto " ~

 ~ Blue Eyed Pinto ~

When I decided to draw this 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ACEO illustration "Blue Eyed Pinto" I realized

it has been over 40 years since the last time I had created a horse with plenty of "chrome".

Even then, there were not many.

I can think of only two others, both when I was in my earlier teens.

The first was an oil painting of a Native American Paint Horse pulling a travois across the plains,

the second was of a beautiful chestnut and white pinto rendered in oil pastel on velour paper.

I'm not sure why most of my art has gravitated to the solid colored equines with white only appearing on their faces or feet.

Hmmmmmmm...these paints and pintos are rare indeed!

Fresh off of the drawing table.

I wonder if other artists have the same issue? I've come to realize if I take a "short" break from creating art, that short break may become quite long!

This sketch had been sitting on paper as a line form drawing for more than two years, waiting to become a color painting. I finally put myself into the chair at the drawing table to take a break from my "break", and work on some graphite aceo's (2 1/2" x 3 1/2" art cards, editions, and originals). To limber up I decided to work on this little piece in graphite first.

There are times I have a very clear picture of what the art will look as when complete, then there are times I let the piece create itself. Other than the line form that lay dormant for over two years, "Dappled Arabian" was the art that created itself.
