A Fundamental Shift in Emphasis

A Fundamental Shift in Emphasis 18 x 14 oil on linen
Had a LOT of fun this Sunday - once the oil sketch was correct as to proportions and placement in space, this one was easy!

      Hi, Julie - "easy" and "it came effortlessly" in my mind are pretty much the same thing. I am always so happy when that happens!

    Amazing! I have painted horses and I would find this hard. Great action reminds me of Remington.

      Many thanks. I am so humbled that you would think of Remington. I recently saw some of his original ink drawings and they were fabulous!

      For some unknown reason, I love painting equine anatomy - it fascinates me. Thanks, Diana.

      Hi, Sandra - I probably should have said that this one flowed effortlessly. I guess that is pretty much the same as easy - and its a minor miracle when that happens!

    This is how my horse celebrates when I remove her saddle after a long trail ride! This is IT!
