"Morning Ride" Pastel by Charlotte Yealey

9x12
Pastel
I wish I could say this is a plein air painting but it is not. I used my photo as a reference that I took at a horse show at a riding stable near Littlestown. I love being outdoors but time, bug bites and air conditioning keeps me painting in my studio.

Painted indoors or out, this is a beautiful painting of a svelte rider and her horse.

ThanKs,Cecelia! With all my plein air painter friends busy painting away at festivals, I feel a little left out.

A quite lovely piece, Charlotte!

I'm home as well--working on my commissioned portrait--loving it, but still wishing to be out painting.

This painting has a wonderful feel about it, a peaceful connection between the horse and its rider. Beautifully painted, Charlotte.
