Bandelero

This is gorgeous stallion, Bandelero, affectionately know as "Nug". Now that's a curious nickname, and there is a story. At his very first show a little girl fell in love with Bandelero. She told her father that she loved him more than Chicken McNuggets. And the rest, as they say, is history. I wanted to paint Nug in all his gorgeousness, but I also wanted to play with the background. So I used a lot of transparent layers and a roller to accomplish the background, and while I was at it I used a lot of transparent layers on Nug too. And I like the overall effect. I hope you do to!
