Making Climate Great Again

#MakingAmericaDiseased is not enough.

 

The emperor has no trousers, but who needs em when your broomstick will carry you up into the heavens to converse with God(or that guy from the NRA, whatever) and check out how you're Making the Climate Great Again

At first Trump was wearing his blue coat and red tie, but it was too confining. his polo shirt lets the manboobs swing free

 

Reel'em In Ruby

A racehorse commission, to add to the animal and pet portraits

 

This graceful 4 year old mare has won a heap of prizemoney. The images I'm using are from a big win at Rosehill, so I'm trying to include some of the gardens out there rather than the corporate hoardings - which are very Brasil

The finished painting with the steward's lookout behind. The scene is a mashup so you won't exactly be able to find it out there, but I hope it gives a good feeling of the place. Joe's happy with the portrait of Ruby

With the green added its very naturalistic - Stubbs meets Muybridge? (LOL).

Below are a sequence of images as it all comes together

A sequence of images as the colour builds up \

Blogger's image uploader has taken to adding a bunch of images in reverse order since the recent 'interface upgrade' (teeth grind) so I'm having to cut and paste everything individually today. This shot has a strong blue cast I should fix sometime

 

Sketched up in raw sienna(not pencil!) with some zinc white and raw umber with a bit of purple(dioxazine) - some contrasting shadow and depth under the greens etc of tur. Complementary colours create depth and contrast

 

A first sketch from the main photo I'll be using as a guide. A  bit fucked up - proportion around the shoulders totally FOOBAR - but otherwise pleasing so its not really a problem if I don't repeat the mistake sketching up the canvas, which I'm ready to do - the best drawing has to be on the canvas, not a piece of paper
