More Rocks...























Heres another detail of the large painting I'm working on.  Its 48 x 36" and my largest painting to date.  (Well, except for that ugly mural I did back in the 70s.)
These boulders have been loads of fun to paint!  I'm always amazed at how us artists can become obsessed over a subject.  As I start to paint, visualizing the characteristic of each one, I become lost in all those rocks, almost to the point of becoming a rock...I suppose thats why so many artists are a little odd.
Anyway, I had to take out the bushes for now, in order to focus on "boulder" form.  I'll add them later, to break things up a bit.  I don't want these horses to look as if they've just landed on the moon!
