Painted Horse

A few weeks ago I came across this beautiful horse and knew I wanted to photograph her. There was just something about her face, the way her mane hung over her ears, and the lovely coloring of white against the brown. And one eyelid is white. This rendition is something a little different on DavidzJourney, having snapped a quick shot with my digital camera while she was in a barn just days after giving birth to a lovely little foal. Then, with PhotoShop, I blocked out the background and did a diagonal gradient; after that I converted it into a watercolour image then added a grain texture. Eventually I hope I can get her to pose for a portrait!
