Painted Pony, County Clare, Ireland 2x9 pastel, copyright 2010
Since I couldn't seem to get the image I used for the Virtual Paintout out of my head, I decided there was no point in fighting it any longer. While the kids went to play in the snow during their unscheduled day off, I sat down at the easel and worked on this pastel. It didn't take too long, about an hour and a half I think, probably because I had already worked it out in pencil. It looks a little too orange on my monitor but otherwise came out okay. The colors are more muted than usual for me, but that seemed fitting, as I am guessing the photo was taken in the early morning.
