Feeling better now and getting reacquainted with my paintbrushes again. It felt good to work on this painting, exploring the contrast of the white shed with that red roof and chestnut horse. I hope to expand the concept into a larger painting.
I've also been throwing paint on a very large canvas in my "Heaven and Earth" series. If I can ever wrestle it into a semi-presentable state, I'll post it on the blog.

the light and atmosphere in this is quite wonderful Don: i love the way you have re-echoed the ribbing in the roof in the ribs of the horse and the tyre and that shine of light bouncing of the worn tyre.
Beautiful work Don.I always enjoy these subjects of yours- earthy quiet moment in time that tell a lot about the man behind the artist.
I'm glad that you're feeling better,
have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks, Rahina. I'd like to say I made those relationships consciously, but truth is I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. I'll take credit for unconscious association, though! :^)
Thanks for the kind comments and well-wishes, Pierre. Hope your weekend is a great one too!
Great quality of light and you've created atmosphere that almost breatheable it's so real.
Thanks Shirley, that's a wonderful compliment.
Glad you are coming round again Don. Really look forward to the next Heaven and Earth development.
Thanks a lot, Sheila--feeling better every day. I'm enjoying having this large "Heaven and Earth" canvas on the wall, and letting it develop bit by bit. It feels a good counterpoint to the daily paintings to have something involving sustained effort.
I'm glad you're on the mend! The light in this one is sublime!
p.s. that horse looks tired...:^)
Yes, I think it's an old horse, and definitely underfed.
