This is Debra Nell's cat who wanted in her strawbale house during our art reception this May. This kitty made lots of friends that day and was allowed in to join the party. This pastel was a welcome break from from  two oil painting commissions I have going right now.  

"Horse Pasture" Pastel by Charlotte Yealey

9x12
Soft Pastels on Wallis Paper


For my second daily painting I chose a photo from my landscape photo reference file of a pasture. I did not include the fence on the photo and I added a mare and her foal from another
reference photo. The sky was blue with no clouds but I added some fluffy ones for a more interesting painting. I completed this is 2-1/2 hours and I feel I over worked it a bit. I don't feel the baby horse is believable.
