lilah blue

watercolor & gouache
8 1/2 x 11
10 x 16 finished size with border 
fabriano

this is lilah and she is the youngest of my small herd. she was black when born and is slowly turning gray and will grow into almost white with darker main, tail and stockings. not sure why but i have always seen her as blue and lilac....hence her name... lilah blue. this painting seems to be a dance between water and color. sometimes there is just no controlling things... I did leave plenty white border so it can be trimmed and fit in a ready-made standard size frame.
