Horse Wash, renamed, sort of finished

Here's the title: Ponderosa Morning: After the Bath. There are some things I still want to fuss with, but it's all but done, and has been photographed and submitted for the Art at the Classic show.

Horse Wash - in progress 6

This is how it looked at the end of the day yesterday. The horse's head and mane are roughed in, and I think I brightened the sunlit dust and some of the other patches of sun. I've forgotten a blue wagon I wanted to put in; that, and finishing up his head, and fiddling with some other little things, will be today's work, which I better get started on.

Horse Wash - in progress 5

This is the painting, after most of the fifth painting session, yesterday. The tree and the pole are largely done, the sunlit dust and the ground; and the horse is mostly pretty-much-done, except for his head and mane. Even when it's "done," though, I'll want to fiddle with some things.

Horse Wash - I have to rename this - in progress #4

Okay. I have to rename this painting. I have realized this horse was not at the horse wash, which has cement floor and sides, and, I think, metal pipe tie-up, as well as, of course, a hose sort of thing. I think it will be Fairground Morning, or maybe Morning Among the Pines - even though I suspect it was no longer morning. But it looks like morning to me, and I like the idea.

This was the fourth session of painting, on Thursday (May 30). I've done more on the horse, and have one more tree trunk and part of the pole to do, as well as the sunlit dust around the horse's feet and some other stuff.
