Gifted
This is the second of three pieces I am painting for the American Academy of Equine Art Limited Palette show. For this show we are challenged to paint using no more than three colors plus white. My colors for this piece were Quinachridone Burnt Orange, Prussian Blue, and Yellow Ochre. These are colors I use fairly often and I felt they would be perfect for this gorgeous little girl. Her name is Chateau Elan HF and she was born at Hattaway Farms in Paris, Kentucky. I took many photos of the Hattaway Farms horses, several of which will ultimately be painted. For that reason, this painting is a gift to Jordan Hattaway for graciously allowing me that freedom. I hope you find this little beauty as captivating as I did.
