I am primarily an oil painter, but I enjoyed doing this watercolor.I suppose it's unusual to have a horse's rear end be prominent in a painting, but I loved the farrier's pose.
This is a blast from the past, one of my rare watercolors. I still like it. Working people make wonderful subjects; in fact, I did a whole series of them as a commission once. I think this is my only painting where the rear end of a horse figures prominently, but I hope your eye is drawn to the hardworking farrier.
