| To Lead a Horse Oil on panel, 12x6 Civil War Reenactment |
This past month, I have been concentrating on figure work - both of man and horse. I love the way the light shines on the animal's form. The reenactment has given me so many great reference photos to paint from! Next time, I will try to get them to take the horses down to the pond. Imagine how lovely these creatures would be reflecting in the water's surface! I've been painting quite a few panels cut to 12x6 - and I really like the format! It is wonderful for a panoramic composition, and just seems to make the painting more dramatic than the standard sizes. Since I have finished with my painting a little early today, I am actually going to go get some panels cut! I am down to bare bones on my panel selection, and it is way past time for me to do this. Since I have some plein air events coming up, I really must take care of this so I can be well prepared for whatever scene unfolds before me. This is painting number 245 in as many days, and Day 5 for Leslie Saeta's 30 day painting challenge.
You did an amazing job of making the horse appear as if it is moving. love the way the light is hitting everything. very beautiful.
