Gravitational Considerations

Oil on linen panel - 22x28. I have been doing some traveling lately and had little time to paint. Back at the easel now. As always, many thanks for stopping by my blog!

    Vos sauts à cheval me fascinent toujours... Vous avez beaucoup de talent pour capturer le mouvement et faire en sorte qu'il persiste dans le regard du spectateur...
    Une merveilleuse peinture.
    Gros bisous

    J'avais manqué vos dernières publications. J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à admirer l'ensemble de votre travail.

    I love your use of red Susan. As always your painting is energetic and full of action the the love of action. Red gives the horses their jump. Very effective.

      Many thanks, Julie. The tension and body positions of horse and rider in these intense moments really fascinates me!
