I finished the painting of Denman and Kauto Star this morning and am very pleased with the result. I had used the black background to start with as both photos I was working from had them looking out from their stables so their necks blended into shadows but I absolutely love the dark background as it's made them stand out so well.I've also received an art blog award from two wonderful artists whom I admire greatly, Laura Hardie and Lene Daugaard so am very excited to receive the award.
I have been asked to list 7 things I love and then pass on to 7 art blogs I admire. The 7 things I love are...1 My hubby Chris, he's extremely supportive and has been great over the past few months
2 My cats Simon and Izzy. I would go slightly mad being in the house all day on my own if it wasn't for their strange behaviour that keeps me amused
3 The hot summer sun on my skin, it wakes me up and makes me feel alive
4 Home & Away and Neighbours, some call them a guilty pleasure, I openly rave about loving Australian soaps!
5 Travelling, I have a long list of places I want to visit
6 Wine
7 My friends, and yes they know I love wine before them!
The 7 blogs I will send the award to are:

Thanks for following my blog, Sally - I love your work, and I'll be enjoying this and your WIP blog! Beautiful portrait you've just finished here. :-)
thanks for the award Sally. Beautiful job on your portrait, they do jump right off the canvas. You're an excellent painter!
Hi Sally,
Thanks so much for the mention and the award. I am honored to participate, however I recently did so so I won't tag others this time. It's great seeing your finished portrait. Very nice.
What a beautiful painting, Sally! Thanks so much for the award, very much appreciated. I only found out late from someone else, so sorry I didn't include you in my recent post, I will recify that.
Thank you everyone for the comments on my painting. I don't get enough time to work on my own paintings, although I'm desperately trying to rectify that, so this painting was very enjoyable.
Beautiful horses Sally, you are very good, congratulations!!!
Ciao!!!
