This is a detail shot of a commissioned portrait of “Ki’. This lovely 3yo girl was lost to cancer much to the sorrow of her owner, who did everything she could to give Ki a great life.

Once again I have used my own horse as a model for this. Although she looks absolutely nothing like it. She is a black standardbred and this one looks more like a liver chestnut quarter horse x. But the photo I used had the angle and lighting I was looking for and then I just used my artists license with the rest!
