Morgan Horse Portraits

Doc was my first horse commission.  I never met the owner but worked the order via e-mail.  I had to get the photos at the stable the horse was being kept for training before it got shipped west for the Morgan Nationals.  After the nationals he was being shipped back to his owner.  I ended up working with a friend of mine who stabled her horse there in order to get some pictures.  I discovered that it is MUCH more difficult to get good photos of horses than it is with dogs.  I shot a lot of pictures that day (before I got my digital camera) and this one really turned out lovely.  It is the one the owner chose.  I liked it so much that I ended up doing another painting for myself for display at my booth.
