Agnes and Spice Boy
Horse and girl portrait - Oil Paitning of Agnes and Spice Boy |
|
Hi!
What lovely horse and rider! Its really visible how Spice boy loves jumping, he is smiling and the eyes are very beautiful. Agnes really show full focus and concentration on the next obstacle. With mane and tail that flies (and the blurry background) it’s clear that you get an understanding about just how fast they are riding! I can understand how difficult it can be to paint that small detail, as you can find in faces; it’s probably very finically. We love the painting! Waiting with excitement to see it for real. I hope I can collect the painting in Wednesday so she can receive it on her 15th birthday! A truly beautiful gift I believe.
Regards,
Ulrika Blomgren

This portrait is in smaller size, the face of this girl is only 2 cm in length so it was a challenge to paint her. I painted the background blurry and created the colors warmer then the actual photo has. We also decided to exclude some elements that are visible in the background of the photo. This is what the client wrote about the horse and rider, their names are Agnes and Spice Boy:
If I’m to describe Agnes (I’m her mother), I will probably get backing from others if I say that she is a person with a big heart. She is caring with both people and animals but, above all its very important for her that animals are cared for. Agnes is fun to have around, she mostly has shrewd comments, and she is spontaneous with the people she knows. It’s a smart and cunning girl, ambitious at school, she just began 9th grade and her birthday is 22nd of October. The painting is a birthday gift. She has wished a lasting and nice memory of Spice Boy and the things they used to do together, apart from all memories she has in her mind. Yes, and about Spice boy. We bought him as a 5 year old; a C-pony with 140 cm, that Agnes was supposed to get after the B-pony Freja. Together they trained and later also competed, above all in jumping.
Every time we loaded he almost ran into the transport him self, because he understood that something fun was going to happen. A long stroll in the woods was also fun of course, sometimes it could be hard to get him tired, and he needed much for both body and mind. If he had to rest for a longer time (which he didn’t like) he could start teasing us a little, not to be bad, only because he was excited to work again. We had to sell him as a nine year old because Agnes kept growing; she wanted to go for modeling! She misses Spice Boy and riding very much, but Agnes is now taking a break as a horse owner and we got a little sheltie girl instead. She is now 4 months old (maybe it will be another painting ahead!) Agnes it taking a puppy class and will commit her self to Agility. |
