Freckles

And now for a touch of the equine and a lovely break from all those pop art pups..

Freckles is a private commission for a birthday gift.. I enjoy the challenge of all those spots and making sure the hair is travelling in the correct direction..  Horse coats seem to have hair going all directions.

Thank you Nikki for commissioning me to immortalise Freckles for you

APPALOOSA ART

Here is my latest creation using Corel Painter. It is my tenth piece using this new digital medium. I only hope to get better and better at it. I am especially fond of the quickness I can paint my horses. Would love to venture into highly detailed hyper-realistic works someday.

Come back often to see what I am up too...

WIP - New equine fantasy art by Kerry Nelson

"Braiding Mother's Hair" 16x20 oil on panel.  Work in Progress.

They're mostly horse!  Ha!  Here's a bit of background info from my blog:
"It is not my intention to mimic any one culture, rather, to create a plausible sub-culture that might exist if centaurs were real and living among human cultures of the ancient times.
This family is obviously well off with a palacial estate and many luxuries. Here, the mother is having her eldest daughter braid her mane and help her with her dressing for a night out with her husband when he returns home. The youngest daughter entertains them with chatter and play. She and her pets find the occassion very exciting and festive and as a result is always getting underfoot."



This painting is nearly finished, just awaiting a little more detailing.   Please visit my blog to see the complete session-by-session posting of this work from concept and drawing to the present stage of work with many detail close-up photos that can be enlarged by clicking on the photos.   See it here:

Appaloosa muzzle

This is a favourite shot from a client's photo session last summer. Sitting here at the end of about six weeks of very cold winter weather, with a couple more months to go, it's nice to think about how darn hot it was last August when I got this shot!! Luckily for me, this was a client who is on my wavelength and was just as happy with my odd crops and close-up detail shots as she was with the more "regular" photos.
