Painted Pony, 8 x 5.5 graphite pencil on paper, copyright 2010
This month's Virtual Paintout is in Clare County on the west coast of Ireland. I've never been there, but Ireland is on my bucket list. I didn't have anything specific in mind, so I just randomly picked a spot near the coast. It took me only a few minutes to find this scene. I might have to come back to it with pastel or oil, the colors are quite lovely - it looks like the photo was taken shortly after dawn.
I'm a bit out of practice with pencils, it's been quite awhile since I've attempted a simple sketch. It was refreshingly uncomplicated.
