This was the second equine painting I did after graduating from The Atelier.  It was almost startling to me how much more accomplished this painting felt than any equine piece I had done before I found the school.  Then the painting began to win awards which only confirmed I wasn’t imagining the improvement in my skills.  I can’t thank this classic instruction enough for how it transformed my ability to see Nature and then paint it.
