"The Saddle Series - Arion"

THE STORY: This oil painting of an Arion saddle is painted on a 6x6" panel with an 8x8" open grain wood frame. I love the contrast of the white stitching against the rich brown leather. Notice how Arion stitched the letter "A" on the flap! I had to use my tiniest detail brush to paint those little white dashes. 3 hours and 40 minutes went into creating this painting. Was it brought along to horse shows? Maybe a little girl struggled to throw it over a school pony's back every Wednesday after school. Only the saddle's owner knows what life it's encountered; but even then, a saddle has secret memories we can only speculate through its stains and wrinkles.   3 STYLE OPTIONS: Original, Drawing Giclee Print, & Painting Giclee Print 8x8" Framed Original Painting Painted against a slightly textured white background (an exclusive detail not included in their giclee prints).
