This watercolor work is about 9x11 and is a section I cut out of a large Cracker Barrel map of the USA. I love to eat there and these maps are free that show all their restaurant locations.
Years ago I'd painted this pair of horses in a smaller format and given to my brother Stan. Unsure if the medium would color the paper enough I did have to use 2-3 washes in this vignette and of course draw the animals larger. They were eating hay when I took their photograph and the white horse is eating quickly while the bay is watching something at a distance. Paints used: Daniel Smith quinacridone burnt orange and gold, UB, manganese, arylide, raw sienna, undersea green, carbazole violet, cobalt teal blue.
