Description
Alex the Clydesdale, watercolor on paper by Conni Schaftenaar
This is the last of several horse portraits I've done for friends who own these animals. Alex is a young Clydesdale gelding, registered as a Black Clydesdale under the name of Blackgate Alexander John. He also features in another painting I did of him and his younger pasture "buttie", Carter. I say "last", but that's only until they get another horse and send me pics!
Originally, I had started this painting to give to his owner to donate to an auction to benefit youth education in the Clydesdale breeders' association. It appears this was a bit of mis-information (about the auction), but I had started the painting and will give it to Dee to keep or explore opportunities with the association to possibly donate it in the future. Meanwhile, I had fun painting the misty winter wooded background and trying to figure out how to paint Alex's many patches of blue roan-and-white - Dee says these markings look pretty accurate - Yay!
