281 Sunday Afternoon at Devon

The Devon Horse show has always been one of the special shows for me. Held in a historic showgrounds with a variety of disciplines, Hunter/Jumper, Carriages and Coaches, Hackneys and Saddlebreds it offers an abundance of images for painting. Here is a small impressionistic look at one of the Sunday Afternoon carriages. Did I mention that Devon is near Philadelphia, home of the cheesesteak, which has to join beer as one of Ben Franklin's reasons that we know God loves us.

But the painting - trying to capture that feeling of a sunny Sunday afternoon in May. With horses and carriages, red barns with blue trim and all those elements just a joy to paint.

3. In the Herd Cow Painting Number Two

Yes, this is another cow painting. No, it is not the same cow that was featured in yesterdays painting. Cows have been a favorite subject for painters for centuries. There is something so "pastoral" about a painting of a cow. If I am setting up to paint out in the country, I am often next to a field with a herd. Curiosity will have an entire herd ambling over to where I am painting. ( Ususally with a fence in between) After a while, when they realize I am not bringing food, most amble away, though a couple may stay to watch. I came upon this herd while driving around scouting for painting locations near home here in North Carolina.
