Twilight Feeding

This is a large, 12x16 inches.  I have been wanting to go "big" for a while, but taking photos of the larger paintings with my antiquated iPhone was not getting the job done.  The new scanner is allowing me use my larger paper/pads.  It is certainly freeing to be able to go big and use bolder brush strokes.  Lots of layers of color here, especially on the horse (its anatomy got whacked a bit as a result, but I am fine with the end product).

    Hi Charlie,

    I've been meaning to write for some time. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful art! I've really enjoyed the recent work- especially the pelicans, pandas, and now this horse. It reminds me of our time together in the Red Barn so many years ago. Hope that all is well! Let's talk soon. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks Amanda. I wish I knew more about watercolor during those days. All those hours waiting for the next assay to be done could have been spent painting horses.
