Horse Portrait by Pat Wooldridge

Here are some of Pat's comments on her portraits, taken from her web site:

"Reneé is a Friesian mare of great presence and with a wonderful personality. The drawing [shown at top of this page] was done by combining parts of 2 of my reference photos, taken while she was resting between shots during the photo shoot.

portrait by Pat Wooldridge'Oh, Look!' [shown right] was done from another of the unused photos [of Reneé] taken during the shoot. I added the baby's hand because Reneé's pose here reminded me of something I once read in Green Grass of Wyoming, by Mary O'Hara---

The half-wild young stallion, Trombone, so named because when in motion his presence and abundant, billowing mane and tail inspire the idea of a background of trombone music, comes down the hillside to the Green near the ranch house where the family is enjoying the afternoon.

The baby reaches out; Trombone wants to come near, but isn't quite tame enough yet. His hooves are planted, he is leaning backward a bit; just can't bring himself to come close enough. I didn't want to draw Reneé leaning backward as she is a very personable horse."

About the artist: Wooldridge works from photos provided by her clients or those she shoots herself, and she works closely with her clients regarding the desired pose and expression.
