Just finished this painting of a horse out at Rancho del Sol Dorado. Most of the details are concentrated around the horse. The rest is painted pretty loosely, but with careful consideration to the relationships between the values.

This picture is beautiful!
ReplyDeletea horse in the blistering heat! once again you've nailed both beautifully in paint.
ReplyDeletePretty nice, the control of lgiht and shade values are so subtle.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations from Barcelona, Spain.
Beautiful drawing and your control of the values is the key to this impressive image.

Wonderful, Frank! I particularly like that you placed tiny bits of red in the focal area...nice grabber!
ReplyDeleteWell done, my friend!
The way you handle whites and shadows- so tranquil and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnother rich piece Frank.
And the values are dead on, I must say!
ReplyDeleteThat being said, it reminds me of a scene from an old movie, where Jon Saxon is playing a Mexican who says to Marlon Brando, "Come een! Ab a dreen weed oss!"
Good stuff, I'm tryin' to say.
I love it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, like A Decker's Spanish accent ;)
Landed here and was ever so glad !
ReplyDeletethere is just nothing quite so comforting as a scene with a horse in it! even though it looks very hot.
