Nice one Marc

Was an Ademola22 originally and SK got the masters , from what I remember the fit was good .

As for your painting .... very nice finish indeed and well executed on the horse....

One question have you finshed the eyes I would put some varnish over the surface

..the pairing works well together though

Thanks for sharing

Hi Marc,

Good to have you back , catching up on posts hence late reply!

Always liked this piece , your painting looks great , I believe this was originally a Ademola22 piece and Steve sensibly bought the master .....nice decision .

Did you paint the horse separate and then join them ?

Thanks for sharing

PS ...just saw I had already posted ...must be the time of year ...still a piece such as this is worth it ...It's my age you know or too much dreaming of busts!..LOL
