Calling a Double

Comments

It's finished! And it is great - the white horse is superb against the dark trees and all the hounds sniffing this was and that add to the scene in a very lively way. You have worked hard on this one and the result is lovely.

The huntsman and horse are jumping out of the painting:) it looks 3D! Lovely effect and the hounds are full of life Derek!

Love the way you get drawn into the painting, starting with the White horse and then slowly each figure in turn, just as it should be. wonderful.<br />

I think it is finished. Otherwise I would be fiddling and my hands won't work that well in close control to avoid smudging and making wrong marks. 40 x 30 on Tiziano. Calling a double is a terms used, two short horn tones to signify a fox is about.....I think.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
