I used a wonderful photo reference with permission by Steve Lynddon. He really did photograph this while waiting to take photos of the sunset.

9x12 inches Oil on cradled hard board.

Title: Sky Ponies

Leaning Points.

1. Blending. Learning to paint clouds by blending the bottom edges and layering
2. Using photograph as reference. The painting is a lot like the image, but I made sure to alter it some. As, I really wanted those ponies in there, I was limited some on my changes.
3. Mixing greys.
