A commission from dogsoul on FA. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this the last few months and am terribly pleased with how it turned out (and so is Dogsoul, I'm happy to report). The cart is a roaster, a larger version is usually seen behind American Saddlebreds, Hackney Horses, Morgans, and some of the other more flashy fine harness horses; the smaller ones, like this one here are usually pulled by Hackney ponies and American Shetlands (which is what this little fella is). They're a pretty smart-looking turnout and definitely turn heads when cruising around. Of course that is entirely lost on the driver of the sportscar (Audi R8). Painter X on "Cool" paper with various Oil Pastel tools (mostly Chunky).

This is ingenious! I love how you have the horse seeing his reflection – great painting.
