17x21Autumn East Boulder Creek2018-03$449.00

This is painted from my favorite go-to site under 75th street on the bike path next to Boulder Creek. I’ve done several studies from this site but this day I felt confident that I would make this a finished painting. The final painting was accepted to the 2018 North Metro Artist Alliance annual show. At the award ceremony the judge told me how much she thoroughly enjoyed this painting except for the fact that it looked like the horses were pasted on. I told her yes they were plopped on the painting from Edward Muybridge photo stills of running horses. When painting this site from previous studies I remember fleeting glimpses of horses chasing each other across the pasture. I also repeated the horses galloping at the bottom of the painting where the profile of horses are seen in the white water frothing.
