Portrait Information

This is the third equine painting I created for a client in Kilkenny. Danny Boy is the pony's stable name and he was the client's daughter's pony whom she rode for a while. He has a heart shaped marking on his neck and the client was keen for me to show it in the painting. I completed the painting in May 2019 at 45 x 35 cm (18 x 14 inches) in size. The painting is painted with acrylics on stretched canvas. You can find more information on the commission on my blog here.
