    Hi Louise – wow this is great - you have quite a talent – in addition to the great work on the horse I really like what you have put around him - the flying snow and the background – I can see why it won numerous awards—dave

  • louisegreen replied

    Thanks very much Dave – this pastel was done on dark blue pastel paper & some of the paper is showing through in the background. This often works as an advantage with pastels, as you can use the various coloured papers as shadows or background effects.

    Wonderful work, he’s spectacular! An old workmate of mine used to breed Haflingers & this reminds me very much of her stallion

  • skyhorse

    skyhorse

    I’m not sure Louise, I think the stud was called Daisy Hill & was Marysborough VIC area, her mum competed in carriage events & my friend was doing combined driving with the stallion. They had also bred him over their hackney mare with outstanding results
