Golden Mane

I painted this horse awhile ago and I thought I posted it...
I really love painting horses and I'm looking forward to visiting the Baiting Hollow Horse Rescue Farm on Long Island this year.  Seeing all the horses being treated SO well after some of them were abandoned is a definite treat.
By the way, it's also a wonderful Winery which donates part of the sales to the Rescue Farm.
This horse wasn't a rescue horse....I took the reference photo of him somewhere in Montana.

    Wow! Jaw-droppingly beautiful, Hilda! He is beautiful in his rich brown coat and blondish mane. Once again your talent in depicting hair shows itself! I hope you get to see the rescue horses this summer! Horses are magnificent animals, and my heart always stirs when I'm close to them.
