Behind every picture there is a story. This story is about four horses leaving California and making a long journey east to Georgia via trailer. They stopped every three or four hours along the way to rest. When they arrived in Mississippi they were unloaded to spend some time in a pasture. The picture says it all!
And every day I think, perhaps this is the day I muck the whole thing up…change one point of color and the whole thing fades away…goes back to feeling very two dimensional, which is not what I’m looking to achieve. There are places where the highlights in the oil just glitter. We’ll see. You be the judge. It is still a work in progress.
