I am working with color. This is Maggie and I find that I paint her more than any of my other horses. Maggie is a Thoroughbred and her lines are so silently graceful. Her movements are quiet and I watch and admire the fluid grace from her head through her tail. It is impossible to capture. But, I continue to try.
This scene is in Paynes, Mississippi with a slight population. I have no doubt that there are more cows than folks living there.
This is just up the road (as they say) from my place. It is a field next to my uncle's house and is indeed part of his farm. It is just off the paved highway and there is actually a gravel road that runs alongside the treeline.
Its hard to reproduce here the rich deep colors created by oil paint. This is a typical scene where the hills meet the delta in my hometown.
