Chalk pastel equine art by Linda Bein

I just love this horse, I finished this a while ago, but have to hide it from the horse's owner, she buys every painting, pastel, pencil drawing that I have done of him.  I finished an oil pastel of him and posted on facebook and she asked my how much.  I wouldn't tell her, I just asked her if she really had room for another painting of him.  I won't torture her by posting this one on facebook.

This is a painting of  three of our horses, two have been sold.  The photo was taken and a second later their ears were pinned back and they were shaking their heads....wonder what they were talking about.  I was originally going to name this painting the coffee klatch, girlfriends, or the gossip group; but when I started with the blue and green under painting it started to look ghost like.

It is such fun to work and experiment on yuppo paper!  It is dark and dreary and pouring down rain outside the studio window, my inspiration. I wonder how much snow we would have if it was cold, several feet no doubt, since we already have had about four inches of rain.  They tell me weather like this sends women into labor, and maybe its true, since my daughter is at the hospital awaiting the arrival of her first child.  I'd better get going!!!
