Day one Horse and Rider Portrait

I started this 16" x 20" portrait yesterday of a little girl and her

Arabian horse.  I got most of it blocked in on the first day.  I like the way the

jacket turned out just using a few strokes and leaving it...something I'm

getting better at!  I'll post the progression of this one so check back.
