Description
Here is a portrait of the Friesian Black horse in Autumn one of my favorite horse breeds showing a close up of his beautiful demeanor, regal head and shoulders. This horse resides at a stable we visit often. He likes to run and be head of the herd there. I am ever stunned watching him trot and run around the field. This image was taken while he was out among the trees on the pasture. I have digitally painted in the trees around him using autumn colors in the leaves to give the autumn look to this image. Painting I used mostly oil brushes and some oil pastels from corel, finishing in photoshop. I have favorites from both depending on the image. He is so dark and shines in the light, oils were the best strokes for him. The Friesian (also Frizian) is a horse breed originating in Friesland, in the Netherlands. Although the conformation of the breed resembles that of a light draft horse, Friesians are graceful and nimble for their size. It is believed that during the Middle Ages, ancestors of Friesian horses were in great demand as war horses throughout continental Europe. Through the Early Middle Ages and High Middle Ages, their size enabled them to carry a knight in armour. In the Late Middle Ages, heavier, draft type animals were needed. Though the breed nearly became extinct on more than one occasion, the modern day Friesian horse is growing in numbers and popularity, used both in harness and under saddle. Most recently, the breed is being introduced to the field of dressage. Fine Art Friesian Horse Portrait In Autumn Mixed Media Photography, Painting Digital Artwork by Sandi OReilly.
