"Rocking Horse" was finally released from the easel this week."Rocking Horse" is a 6 x 6 oil painting on a panel.  This composition was painted in pastel a year ago in a 9" x 12" format.  I wanted to see if I could create the same lind of texture in the tail and bow in oil.  I think I did!  It was actually fairly easy to create the twining colors of the yarn.  But most of all....it was fun to paint!
