Portrait...
This is the portrait of the horse who was recently deceased. At least the person who picked it up seemed to like it.
 These are the color xeroxes I worked from, the one on the left was for the pose, the other to show how much he'd lightened up over the years.

Thanks everyone. I really wasn't sure I could make this work and I'm still not sure I 'caught' him. The pose xerox was fuzzy and and with the one showing him more white, I couldn't tell what was shadow and what was coloring. He almost looked flea-bitten (for non-horse folk, that's what they call speckles on a white horse).
I keep a 'morgue file' of horse photos from past portraits, so I wound up looking through that for a horse with a similar build and pose, just to find some detail for the muzzle and eye areas.

I was thinking from looking at the photos..how in the world were you suppose to tell where the dappling ended and the shadow began. THat was a difficult one! White and silver are so hard to begin with. You did a magnificant job.
