On Watch with the Horses
Oil on panel, 12x6
Civil War Reenactment Paint-Out |
Each morning, when I wake up, I think to myself, "Where is my painting window today?" This morning, I didn't have an answer. So, I just go about my day, looking for the first opportunity to get in some painting. I already had planned what I wanted to paint in my head - actually the next two paintings are already lined out. But, I did not find that chance until well after 10:00. Listening to an audio book, I started laying paint. I primed this wood panel a little differently - lighter texture and a warmer sienna tint. I was able to prime the next 13 surfaces, which I needed so badly to do! I really liked this long format for this young soldier and the horses in his care. This painting would have been easier on a larger size, but alas, there was not enough time and no larger surface. This is painting number 237 in as many days.
