Farm Horses

15x22 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper, another one of my early farm animal paintings based on my dad's sorrel horses. This work is SOLD. It was painted wet in wet in 1993 when I seriously began learning watercolor. From the photo I had taken, this group was analyzed for its darkest dark color values then those were put in first.
