This beautiful white (technically is called a gray) was being boarded where I kept my own horse in Centerville, VA. He was such a sweet horse, smart and our horses got along very well as did I and his owner. I took this photograph of him and started a painting of him. It was not completely finished and so I took another photo of that work and finished it up digitally and here is the end result. I used some textures with this image to enhance certain aspects of this work. Hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed seeing his image again.
White horses are born white and stay white throughout their life. White horses may have brown, blue, or hazel eyes. "True white" horses, especially those that carry one of the dominant white (W) genes, are rare. Most horses that are commonly referred to as "white" are actually "gray" horses whose hair coats are completely white. White horses have unpigmented skin and a white hair coat. Many white horses have dark eyes, though some have blue eyes. In contrast to gray horses which are born with pigmented skin they keep for life and pigmented hair that lightens to white with age, truly white horses are born with mostly white skin and white hair. Some white horses will have partial pigmentation in their skin and hair, which may or may not be retained as they mature, but if they lighten, unlike grays where only the hair becomes white, in a true white horse both skin and hair lose pigmentation.
