purpleponyart | Pistol

June 25, 2006 ::: Acrylic ::: 16x20"

This is one of those paintings that I started a while back (in spring) and finished this weekend. While I'm no Richard Stone Reeves, there are a lot of things I like about this painting that I improved on from the last one. For example, a smoother approach to the background
:-) It seems that I want to paint like I draw, and some cartooniness came out in Pistol. The eyes were the hardest part to get right - they were too big at first. Still not happy with the colour of the ground, but maybe some day I'll magically discover the right colour combo :-)
