| Rearing Stallion Oil on masonite, 9x12 Red X Paint Out - purchase here |
This is probably the most unusual place I have ever painted inside of - the RedX in Riverside! I know, it sounds crazy. This is my first time in this hodge podge mix of a store - where collectibles, bronzes, bikes and groceries live in harmony with a fabulous wine collection! After taking a quick stroll around the place, I landed near the bronzes - this one taller than I am. What a great opportunity to paint a bronze in light that doesn’t change - so different than the ones on the Plaza, where all colors change as the sun progresses across the sky! The red backdrop turned out to be a challenge, with the values so close to that of the sculpture itself. I let my brush have free reign at last, and went a little crazy with the palette knife, letting in some wild color choices......oh the freedom is exhilarating! Painting number 1019 in 1019 days :)

Oh wow! I can see the rippling muscles and I think that stallion is a little wound up-the red background really portrays emotions! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
