This oil is an entry in EBSQ's Work In Progress (WIP) Show. John is the Sr. Cpl. with the Dallas Police's Mounted Unit, Clyde is his Clydesdale-Quarter Horse mount. This was my first painting of the mounted unit. Since I didn't know this particular officer very well, I didn't have a lot of incentive to finish the piece. Actually, what slowed me down was the background. I had to go back to the State Fair grounds (where the mounted unit is housed and where they patrol during the fair) and take a picture of the coupon booth - but that still didn't help. One officer said I was being too kind to Clyde as he has out-of-proportion enormous feet and she didn't think I did him justice.
