"Loving Color" Day 9 - ORIGINAL DRESSAGE HORSE PAINTING in OILS by OLGA WAGNER

Day 8 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge organized by Leslie Saeta brings a dramatic little painting of a Dressage Horse with Ruby browband.

It's been a while since I had a horse on my easel.  This crop worked well for a dramatic effect!

LARGE COLORFUL HORSE WITH FLOWING MANE

This painting has been about 1 yr in the making. I sketched it and started laying out the foundation colors and then kind of lost my vision for the painting. My mojo hit a wall and I just could not proceed with it...I knew that the painting had amazing potential and I did not want to ruin it by working on it with out some sort of VISION...

Well...It is amazing how things fall into place... Yesterday, while vacuuming, the painting caught my eye and there it went onto the easel.. At that moment I could see were I wanted to go with it...It was probably my minds way of getting me out of vacuuming, but who am I to complain! Housework can wait, while inspiration needs to be acted upon...

Here is the painting in my studio, patiently waiting for it's time in the limelight.  I really believe that  great paintings cannot be forced. They are born during the perfect storm of inspiration, love of subject and a colorful palette!

BRIGHT CONTEMPORARY DRESSAGE HORSE

This boy is hanging on my wall while I contemplate it's name...This painting has to be admired in person to fully appreciate the incredible depth of the colors...Once varnished the colors will pop even more and the painting will scream WOW...

RED DRESSAGE HORSE STUDY

This is a small color study that I worked on list night. I have had a 24 by 24 canvas sitting around for a while that was primed and ready to go, but was not fully sure the direction that I wanted to push the colors to... This glowing color combo is for sure one of the current forerunners... I have also entered this one in this weeks Daily Paintworks Challange which calls for using different color combinations to depict the original image.
