I'm going back to look at the house again today
and may get more photos, though it's raining and not a good day for outside shots.

Pretty Belgians
When I was looking at a possible house for Mike I took a picture of these horses and their owner, Bob. In fact, I took a lot of pictures, and I'd like to paint several of them. I did this yesterday at Sydney's. I's small, only about 6x8, and I really love it. I'm tempted to try it, or another one like it, in oil, yet I still feel drawn to the watercolor. I'm almost afraid that if I give it up, even temporarily, I'll lose it again. It's hard for me to just do something without analyzing it, fussing about its implications and consequences.

Hi Cheri,
I think this is your best watercolor/figure painting. It looks great! I like it a lot. You did a good job on the light/shadow as well as the composition. Your previous figures had good drawing skills however the composition was lacking. When I take pictures I always have to resist the temptation of copying the exact details. I like to do my own interpretation. I learned a lot from reading and looking at other people's work, and the best way is to do some sketches and tonal studies and switch things around. However, I like to have fun sometimes and forget about all that, and paint directly. But I have found that the best ones I did are the ones that I have studied.
