More Polo Ponies

Started a new painting today.  Thought I'd attempt an even tighter crop this time, to highlight the true beauty of the horse, and the incredible muscle tone in the flank.  I was a little nervous at first, wondering if this cut too much of the horse out of the picture, but I've since decided I like this close-up examination.  To look at the details that make this animal so beautiful.  I want to be looser with my brush stroke too, and eradicate the background altogether so the horse is the primary focus.  No annoying trees to deal with this time.
