Christmas 2023 I decided I’d paint a portrait of my friends ponies as a surprise – in my mind I thought, if it doesn’t work out, it’ll be a bottle of wine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d taken some photos of her ponies, and it was always a challenge getting a decent portrait of both of them looking good! So painting was the best solution for me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally I paint using references from multiple sources, but ultimately the results are for me and not to please a customer nor do they need to look like the subject! \ud83d\ude02 So obviously this was a bit intimidating for me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how the painting started…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point I started to get giggles!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I grabbed some orange paint and whacked on his fringe, The tears were rolling down my face at his point !! I’d sent this photo to my husband as a progress report and was recording an audio message, and all he received were high pitched squeaks! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I was finding each stage comical, I just kept going! And eventually I started to recognise the ponies! Thank goodness \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results were so much better than what I expected, and every time I see this painting I can’t help but smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend was so happy with it by the way! Which made me feel even better…. \ud83e\udef6<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
