New portrait in progress

Last week we went down to Florida for a funeral. On the way back we stopped at my brother's in Dothan, Alabama.  He has several Haflingers - a small sized draft horse. They are just beautiful.  He asked me to paint a portrait of one of his horses, so here is my rendition of "Absolute".  It is still incomplete.  Absolute has a really heavy mane,  and I will have to wait for the portrait to dry before I can add the rest of his hair.  Hope my brother likes it.
