Out Of The Mist
Oil painting on board. 16inch x 18.5inch. A tribute to a lovely overo paint horse gelding. This particular horse is entering his twilight years. His quiet intelligence and good sense impressed me greatly.

Thankyou Donna, this is my fav painting so far, so I am glad others like it too. It was very difficult to do as my reference material was quite limited, so I had to do a lot of research and problem solving.

This is fabulous Margaret. You’ve captured his beauty so well. Have you ever had the fortune to paint a Medicine Hat or War Bonnet horse?
Margaret Stock... replied
Thanks 2BGood, he’s a lovely horse, so I wanted to do a good job.
I haven’t had access to material to paint many coloured horses, but am hoping I may be able to find more, as I love doing them, it’s a real challenge.

Chris Baker
Amazing portrait! Somehow the color of her reminded me of one or two of the old portraits of Queen Elizabeth the second (England) – love it:)

Thanks Chris, so glad you like this painting. The Queen loves her horses so would probably take the comparison as a compliment!

Mellissa Read-...
Beautiful work, I dont usually vote for animal portraits (even the beautifully painted ones) but this one had such an ethereal quality – high key colours, almost surreal – the blue eye really drew you in. (and he looks like a great horse to know as well).
Margaret Stock... replied
Thanks Melissa! I painted this work instinctively, and wanted to capture that mysterious atmospheric look….....don’t ask me why, must have been how I was feeling at the time, and I still like the look of it, glad you do too.
