Ahhh much better for me. Much. Very nice style. Notice the limited use of color that really brings out the beauty of the color she does put down. Having some white space makes water color really come out. Much better.

There is more to art than color... I like her art, but am not very impressed with the actual conformation of the horses. I prefer something more realistic.

I love her work. The detail in her work is extraordinary. These pictures on the internet don't do the actual paintings justice.

You can click on the Smarty Jones picture at the bottom of the second page, and it will take you to more of her paintings. You can order T-shirts, prints, and many other things of some of these paintings. I have a Barbaro painting and a Barbaro T-shirt. I plan on ordering more. There are probably some on ebay right now or you can contact her. She has also done paintings for owners. I know that she did one of Singletary with a football palyer in the background.

My favorites are Funny Cide, both Barbaros, Cigar, and Lost in the Fog to name a few.

It seems to me as if she is getting better...IMO her newest paintings...Barbaro, Funny Cide, Phar Lap, Cigar, Lost in the Fog, head shot of Smarty Jones on the first page... are more detailed and realistic.

And yes, I have mentioned her before...LOL

Cajun,
If you like Smarty, have a look at Robert Clark's version...
Also, a Point Given for GPK.

Actually, it's funny, because I wasn't a huge Smarty Jones fan at all. I thought that painting of him was beautiful though and so is the one you posted!

Danzig,
Gander said it very well on a different thread. "Vanilla or chocolate".
Please put up a link to your favorite equine artists.
I'm interested to see what appeals to you.
