Horsing Around Challenge

Early Morning Feed 8x8 oil on Board
This was done for the Daily Paintworks Challenge, Horsing Around.

I really enjoyed doing they painting, and as I said in the comments: "Love the morning light and emphasize it in the sky. Never painted a full horse before, just heads!"

Autumn on Main Street

Autumn on Main Street 24x 36 in oil on canvas
This was from a photo taken last October on Main Street, Schomberg. Quite a challenge to paint especially on a bigger canvas than I usually work on.

Trees and leaves can drive a person to drink, but then comes comman sense and perseverance kicks in.

The photo of the painting suffers from perspective distortion because a big canvas in our small winter studio is not easy to capture, this was taken using an iPhone, but don't tell anybody
