Lady Arabella Moger and Rupert

I'm so very very close to finishing but having spent the day working on very small details, I canna take no more cap'n! My poor back is aching from leaning in so close to the canvas and never mind my poor eyes. I'm such an old woman, ha ha! I'm pretty pleased with the progress so far on this painting and only have a few small bits of tack to finish up which I should manage on Monday. By the way, do I sound odd if I comment on how darn gorgeous this horse is??!! I think he's absolutely stunning!

Thank you Laura! :-D It's so great to get a portrait like this as I'm loving it and hopefully that's showing in the painting.

I agree with you Sally I think he is a beautiful horse, he has a soft beautiful eye and he just has....charisma, I think that is the word. btw your painting is absolutely stunning, you have captured human and critter exquisitely (spell??)...anyways,I am sure you understand what I am trying to say. Your painting skills are awesome..keep it up girl!!!
