Portrait of Aoibheann and Penny

Oil on Canvas 16' x 20'

Portrait of Aoibheann jumping on her first owed horse named Penny.
This was a tricky portrait due to the fact that her horse Penny died over a year ago, and the horse that she was jumping is her currently owned horse. It was larger horse of sandy/tan colour. So I had to paint Penny in place, who was a smaller brown horse. Working with multiple reference photos of Penny I was able to paint all the details that made her recognizable to her owner Aoibheann. Of which she was very pleased with the result. A girl never forgets her first horse :)
