Well, finally you get to see Jubie's whole face. She knows how to use it, stretching her neck out and skewing her features to give you the look that normally results in her getting a treat. Jubie's stall is next to Gracie's, and it's kind of funny watching the two of them vie for whatever might be in my pocket. It usually works, too. Can you say, spoiled? While I'll take full responsibility for Gracie, Jubie learned her manipulation techniques at the track.
This is 8 x 6 oil on Raymar cotton canvas panel, limited palette. The reference photo was taken by my friend and web designer.
I was up early today to send one of the mares off to be bred, so I think I'm about ready to call it a day! Tomorrow I'll be featuring another guest blogger, so I'll see you then!
And thanks to those who piped up and made their guesses on Friday's painting! Sometimes I guess whining works! If only I had a face like Jubie's I know I'd have it made...
