Pony Jack

I've been busy this last couple of weeks working on my final commission of 2020, Jack, the Welsh pony.

Now, one of the questions I often get asked at exhibitions and shows is 'do I ever get a portrait wrong'?  And the answer is 'hell, yeah!'

You definitely made the right decision - the final version really pops out of the page and the proportions are spot on. Think of the first one as a warm up! (I've been there... 😂)

Thanks, yes, I'm so much happier with the second version. don't really know why I persevered for so long with the first one. I don't think I was ever really satisfied with it at any point in the process.

Thank you :)

Wow, the difference is amazing, and it's all about the colour! It changes the whole personality of the portrait.

It really does, doesn't it. I don't know why I chose that grey colour - I think I was having a funny five minutes!
