I'm still not done with this painting but here it is so far. It's a picture of my Field Trial type saddle. One thing I know from this project is that I do not like oil painting. I just have trouble with painting in general. The theme to this project was to paint a simple object. I could not think of an object that I liked enough that also had good contrast and composition. So I chose a saddle because it represents my love for animals and riding horses. It also had good contrast with the shadows in many places and the highlights in the leather.
