I have completed the under-painting for Quiz D’Orange. She is the full sister, one year younger to PS I Love You. Customers to my studio have commented that she looks ‘like she is under a spotlight’. So I am on the right track, just the feeling I was trying to evoke. Now, on to the transparent [...]

It has been about a year that I have been painting in oils on a consistent basis. Most of you that are familiar with my work (www.jennpratt.com), know that I come from a dry media background. Pencil and Coloured Pencil have been my mainstay for years. However, it is time to grow and develop, hence the new [...]

Hi Everyone!
Things are rolling in the studio with the painting of Canadian Pacific, by Pacific Star. Again, using the layered painting technique, similar to Panama K, he is slowly developing a glow and warmth in his colouring. I will leave the reddish bay tones for last.
I can only lay in one colour at a [...]

How can you deny this face..?
Show season is upon us. It has been a long spring to say the least. Miss IllyMay’s heats have been especially bad this year. With this, we have had a limited number of productive rides and training sessions. Rather than jumping off the property, we decided to start the season [...]

*sigh*…yesterday I was out at Elegant Expressions farm just outside of London Ontario, to meet Cassandra Wunsch and her horses for my series. Let’s just say, I am still drooling today and probably still will be by the end of the week…:) Cassy has three beautiful horses, Golden Sunrise, pictured above, her newest foal Sampson, and her [...]

I’m back! Recovered…almost…after two weeks of viruses (not the computer variety) sweeping through our household, I am finally working on the panel for Le Cadeau du Cheval again!
In the studio, I did quick, sketch mock-ups of my proposed ideas. It helped me decide which panel was going to be the better choice. I have chosen to go with [...]

This painting of Panama K – aka Blossom, has been a learning experience. I don’t think I brought this up in my posts before, haha!! I am relatively new to the media of oils. Sure I have tried, but soon gave up and went back to my pencils. They are a complex and challenging media. [...]

Revel Sel de Mer – Summer ‘05
One of the most exciting parts of my series is watching my subjects mature. It is amazing to see all the proportional changes foals go through. As most horse people reading this know, there can be some gangly and awkward stages in their development. Times when the hind end is high, [...]
