When I saw this beautiful little paint filly’s amazing coat and cute little face and her equally beautiful mother, I just had to paint them. I relished the challenge of capturing the intricacies of the pattern of the baby’s coat. I also loved portraying the gentleness and love that the mare is showing for her gorgeous little foal. The border contains authentic Navajo blanket design elements, which support their western history and accentuates their coat color.
Breaking Through by Fiona Purdy
Strength, power, personality plus. He is indeed breaking through and charging right off the canvas towards the viewer! Based on a real stallion the length of his mane & forelock is the real thing! I really enjoyed painting his swirling hair and wide-open nostrils. Can’t you just hear him snorting? The border complements and accentuates his strength & pure vitality.
