Breakfast Friends



Acrylic on Canvas, 14" x 10.75"

I finished painting this one today from the reference photo provided by Barb Benik  for the Studio Atelier Challenge. Animals are a lot of fun to paint, especially farm ones. I had always wanted to paint a horse and this challenge forced me to do one. Moreover, barn and pastoral scenes are so pleasing to look at. I started off pretty quickly, but struggled when I got to do the foreground (ground, especially)which gave me problems. I had to force myself to stop because I wasn't getting any better with it.

    Well done Anita,this is fantastic!I love how the light comes through the trees and the animals are just perfect.I don't see any problem with the foreground,i think it looks better than the photo.
