Pastels - Digital Artwork

Here's another piece of digital artwork in pastel this time, working from the lovely photograph of Rain at Throwaway Ponies.

Sketch - digital artwork

I've been trying to create some digital artwork recently, here are the best of my attempts.

Rain......

Another image of Rain which yet again shows her natural beauty. This image has been entered into a competition sponsored by Habitat for Horses. The competition hopes to highlight the beauty of rescue horses, to change perceptions, and I think it's easily seen here with Rain. You can vote on my image - the most votes denotes the final winning image - by logging on to - http://www.competico.com/profile/Suesy?contest=cpt9500 it's free to vote and the winner can donate to the charity of their choice, mine obviously being Throwaway Ponies where Rain resides along with 29 other horses in their care. I hope you have time to check out the link and vote....Thanks in advance, Sues!

Throwaway Ponies Horse Rescue

As part of a project I am working on, I am involved with Throwaway Ponies Horse rescue. Here's a couple of images from a day last week spent getting to know some of the 29 (soon to be 30) horses there.

On Tuesday I am going along to help 'rescue' another horse that is lame and can no longer be ridden, otherwise he is in very good health, just looking for a place to retire!

The two pics are of "Rain' and 'Duchess'. I just couldn't get over how beautiful Rain was, that lovely highlighted mane and those almond shaped eyes, she just melted my heart. Duchess on the other hand just broke it, another pic I took simply looked like she had a tear in her eye, I decided to post this one instead, which shows her natural beauty and grace.........................
