New SFA painting. 6x6" watercolor - Dawn on beach with horses.

I just finished this original SFA watercolor last night. SFA = Small Format Art - nothing over 14".

This is 6x6" square.

I've wanted to paint this for a long time, so I can't help but wonder where these people are now. No doubt the 'little' girl is at least a teenager. Dawn at one of Adelaide, South Australia's beaches (Semaphore). Where horses are allowed to exercise on the beach and in the surf up until 8am. At one stage this was along all the beaches, and a great many were exercised at Grange, where I lived, and was lucky enough to be let ride sometimes, as a child.

I've done several paintings from this location. Love this with the Mum, child, big and little horses (Shetland pony), and Jack Russell Terrier running alongside.

"Starting The Day With A Gallop" - currently listed on eBay for a week at a very low starting price (along with 7 other SFA watercolors. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=291060359629

"Longfingers" (pen and ink)

Inked drawing of some creatures from somewhere and/or somewhen else. Inspired (accidentally, compositionally) by a coloring book illustration from Torn World. I also had in the back of my a head a book I had as a kid, After Man: A Zoology of the Future. I think these are marsupalian, with some raccoon-like and some lemur-like characteristics.

This is a digitally cleaned up version of the original illustration. There's a matte version also (that is how I gave it to my friend for her birthday).

Visually, I wonder which version is better, and why... I don't mean in terms of quality of the image file you see, but whether the cropped (by the matting) or uncropped one is better.

Harder then stone

This is painted last summer but I haven't had time to post it anywhere. Since with this crisis I was need to get a regular job. So, now I am an art teacher ... It's a lovely job but I have very few time for my art.
It's an oil on linen work, 6x6 inches.
