I decided to take this painting back into photoshop and make some changes. After looking at it for a couple of days I realized that the barn was to small in the perspective and the horses weren't dark enough in the foreground. I also dropped down the mountains and the dead brush. I think it looks a whole lot better the the previous version.
Painting I did for a book cover. I found this to be quite fun. I had never done a western type of theme before. I found it to be very challenging, trying to come up with a good composition, playing with lighting, painting horses. I think the final product says something interesting about attempting something you've never done before. Also, I owe a debt to the book "Alla Prima: Everything I Know About Painting". If you don't own this book and your a painter,........SHAME ON YOU.
