This painting recalls summer days when I saw these horses beside the canal. I like drawing and painting horses, just for their shapes – rather like boats and the challenge they give when they are at different angles or huddled together.
I gathered up the images I had of the day and arranged the horses to get a selection of orientations and hopefully provide a pleasing arrangement.
Its good to get back painting with the first one of the year, though I am still moving materials back to the studio and at the same time doing a bit of sorting out and culling as I go – it all takes time.
Well, on with the next one.
Other animal paintings are available on my website which is currently being upgraded: grahammcquadefineart.com

Best to you, Graham. I’ve taken a small respite from the blog world — hope to return when my computer gets refreshed and will hopefully cooperate with my fingers on the keyboard! Take care :)) Dawn

Thanks Shawn, the light was good, sculpting out the form of the horses and drove me to painting them.

Wonderful painting Graham! I just visited your website and your other animal paintings are also fantastic! Since I especially love horses, I really like the “Dining Out”!

Thanks Tiffany. Sorry about the state of the site as I am getting it rebuilt at the moment and he insisted on putting it out live. Anyway, I’m glad you found something you liked.
