Oil on wood panel, 7x5

Working again on figures tonight, I am including a horse and a rider.  A little known fact - I was obsessed  with horses when I was in grade school!  I read every horse book I could get my hands on, I drew them all the time, filled a 3-ring binder with stories of them, and even "played horses" on the playground with my friends!  I know how really weird this sounds, but it is was SO much fun!  I still love horses, and I am finding that I really love painting them.  Getting figures right at this small scale is a challenge - but I feel that after 30 days of doing so, it should become natural!  I guess we'll see!  Painting number 768 in 768 days :)
