I used a palette knife to cover the canvas quickly. The canvas is too wet to continue anymore today.

I adjusted Maggie's head position yesterday. You still can see the outline of the original.

"My Maggie" painting process
The subject is my horse, Maggie, who is a large American Warmblood. The canvas is 48" x 36" (larger than I'm accustom to painting) to go along with her huge presence.
I have a photo of her to help with the sketching on the canvas. After the drawing, I toned the canvas with a wash. After looking at the sketch, I plan to adjust Maggie's position into an action profile.
Maggie has been a model in many of my paintings. If there has been a horse in them, she has been the model. I bought her when she was 4 years old; she is 17 now.
