The Haflinger 24"x 36" oil on stretch Canvas
Some paintings live in your studio in a perpetual state of incompletedness. This one was started about 4 years ago based on a photo I took of a covered wagon ride I visited about 3 years before that. I loved the team of haflingers and everything about the photo was appealing but for some reason I just could not muster the energy to finish it. The harness seemed daunting, then the mane seemed like the horse was being attacked by a ghostly bed sheet but I finally gathered up the courage to finish it. I actually really like how it turned out! Now I can hang it on the wall and use the easel space for another piece that hopefully won't take a decade to finish!!
