Shady Wait__8x10 oil on linen___$250 wetI went down the way to Rainbow Trout Ranch this morning. They always have horses saddled up and ready to go, and plenty of wranglers wrangling them. This beautiful palomino was hitched up on a shady porch and I liked how occasionally he would reach his nose out into the light. Just after I finished this little plein air piece, someone got on and rode away. Below is a picture of the setting where I painted with my model in the background...Tomorrow I will post the study I did of the paint, there. I had to work fast....
You painted this horse from far away.
ReplyDeleteLovely work.
ReplyDeleteIt has been delightful
to visit your gallery.
Good Creations
I love it!! I love the setting, your pochade box and this Far West feeling about it (was it Lucky Luke's horse??) and above all I love how you painted the horse and managed to really transmit some emotions there. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteReally great work. I love the impressionistic style and the lighting, especially the light on his face.
ReplyDeleteWow, most plein air painters just use a tripod, but you use a whole building! lol
ReplyDeleteVirginia, I love the way you showed your painting location and subject as well as the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteIt feels good to be checking out your gallery once again!
