Done

 Bud and Kahlua.The two main characters. Three in the back are horses from Pete's childhood and Misty far in the back is an obvious kicker!Click on images to enlarge.

 Each horse has a story. Eg Sam (black horse head up front)would nod every time you say his name. See movement marks )). All horses have passed away now except the two ponies. They are alive and 'kicking'.Literally!

Little Joe in front is a huge buckskin. Gentle giant!

So Pete and Nancy's commission is done except for the clear coating to protect it and bring out the colors some more.It took 51 hours not including the preliminary discussions. Thirty one horses 
 Each with their own unique story. Hard work but very interesting and rewarding.A painting of fond memories for them in their golden years.
