You can have as much 'say' in your painting as you like - Marti wants you to love your painting and though she is no George Stubbs, her more traditional look has a folk-art feel that would look outstanding in a nice frame alongside your elegant furnishings. If you're the hipster type you might want her to go a little nuttier. It's totally up to you!

 

  1. as traditional as Marti gets
(ok she could do it without the addition of the view of the foal, thus making it even more traditional)

 

 2. Traditional w/a twist

 

 3. a little more cartoony (maybe bright non-realistic colors and oddnesses added)

 

 4. even more fanciful/exaggerated

 5. Just plain crazy! I haven't done an example yet, specifically of a horse, but see my other paintings on my site for plenty of examples of just how much fun we can have!
