"Self Portrait"

SOLD

"Self Portrait"
Small Painting Series
4"x5" Pastel Original

This is a mustang gelding, fully trained, and a great working horse. As I started my pre-sketch, I noticed that there was a reflection of the fence and myself in the reference photo that I took. That's why I'm calling it "Self Portrait".

    Thanks Sam! I vowed that I'd never do a self portrait but this one I could do because it's so subtile. I'm on the right side of the reflection in the eye and it's that mirror thing, "objects are closer than they appear"! I was standing about a foot away from him when I took the shot. :))
