Chaos Theory Two


18x24 oil on canvas panel

I love painting horse anatomy and this composition certainly presented a challenge!

    Another great piece.
    I love the orange trees with the hint of orange on the horse.
    Well done.

    Il n'est pas simple de peindre un cheval debout et là, dans cette position encore moins...
    Bravo, car tout est en nuances...

    Thank you, Martinealison - he took a tumble but got up and his jockey remounted and they galloped away to finish the race!

    Thanks, Becky - I guess this was the natural next step in my steeplchase series. I will see where it takes me. I enjoyed looking at your blog as well - you paint beautiful landscapes.

    I love this one - the agony of the fall - the intensity of the size of the animal - very compelling
