Tobiano

Pastel on black Canson paper 75cmx54cm 1999
Collection of the artist

This painting won several awards at shows & was also featured in a special exhibition at the Manning Regional Gallery ‘TRAPPINGS OF THE HORSE” (July 1999)
celebrating the finest craftwork & art associated with the Horse Industry in NSW. I had received an invitation from the
gallery to be part of the exhibition & I submitted two paintings-
this one & “Blazing Saddles.”

The Tobiano Paint Horse can be any colour with white & refers to the location of the white markings. Head markings will usually be marked like a solid-coloured horse, either solid or having a blaze, stripe, race or star & snip. All four legs will be white, usually below the hocks & knees. Body markings are usually regular & distinct, often being oval or round patterns that extend down over the neck & chest giving the appearance of a shield.

The Tobiano Paint will usually have the dark colour in one or both flanks & maybe either predominantly dark or white.

    You have some excellent work, especially on this one. Maybe I like it to, because we had a quarter horse once and it reminds me of it.
