This painting was all about the coat- that beautiful scarlet colour against such a clear blue sky, not to mention the bright chestnut coat of the horse. It took many thin glazes of paint to get the really bright rich red I was aiming for but I'm so glad I took my time with it as in real life the colours have really turned out beautifully. Such a shame the camera doesn't pick it up very well, as ever!
Unusual and interesting crop Laura. Looks lovely but I know just what you mean about cameras distorting colours - my blog post today is about similar issues (black & white pics in particular).
