Dublin Jack finished painting by @Utlah (Utlah)
I acctually finished it! Whee! An oils on board painting of DJ:) This is probably my best portrait piece to date, of course there are parts that could have been better but I'm pretty pleased with it
Scuse that the photo is slightly at an angle, luckily it hasn't obviously distorted, there is also a little flash reflection on the bridle but its not too bad

WOW! That is REALLY good!! I always find it pretty hard to draw horses (getting the proportions right). Is that a pony? (it looks more like a pony than a horse to me). He looks like such a sweetie, but a bit sad in the painting (by the look in his eye). Well done, fantastic work! :)
WOW
That is absolutely really amazing, so realiastic! I so love the brush work of the hair - and the eye is really really gud, horses aways luk kinda sad but cute. Agh, I just love the way you did the hair, with different colors and shades - the mane is awesome too, the strokes brushed back an all, forlock luks frizzy :) lol. Nice bridle - this pic is awesome - you shud be real proud
Amazing lighting and texture. This horse just looks so soft, like I could reach in and pet his nose! I'm very impressed with the texture of the coat, versus the smooth leather of the bridle. The gentle shine in the eye really looks so very real.
I would only think the metal of the bridle should have brighter highlights, almost as bright as the eye highlight. Metals are so shiny, and that would make it stick out a little more, texture-wise, from the bridle.
I'm also impressed to see that you use oils. I really love paintings, and it's interesting to see someone who seems to be classically trained. Beautiful focal point towards the eye, and those soft blurred edges are really lovely.
Okay, WOW, WOW, WOW and what else can I say apart from WOW! This is the most brilliant, amazing, fabulous, sensational, inspiring, gorgeous and stunning painting I have EVER seen! You've just acquired a new fan! I love all your horses. They are amazing! Keep up with your fabulous work! :-)
OMG! faints That is so adorable ;_; And so real! You are so great with details...Man...I love the eyes, he has very warm cuddly eyes ^^ FANTASTIC!
