A Mother's Love

I am fortunate that I am around wonderful horses and am always overjoyed when a new foal is born. This painting is of Rainbow, a beautiful thoroughbred and her foal Daphne when she was a day old. Daphne is a dainty, gentle foal, growing up to have the same sweet personality as her dam and the colouring of her sire, Creme De La Creme. Sometimes when painting things change depending on how the painting progresses. I have included the changes I have done during this work in progress. I love metallics and I am always looking for ways to use them, and have added it into the background to simulate the lighting on the barn board.
