En Plein Air: Dixie (Oil, 12 x 12)

Dixie is a young mare at George's farm to which I went to paint this morning. At first, I wanted to paint another beautiful mare which was mainly white in color with a few light brown spots. Her white fur shined in bright blue on the shaded side. Unfortunately, the horse refused to pull away from the fence next to me and stood too close for me to paint her. Therefore, I decided to paint Dixie who was standing by the farther side of the fence.
