Progress is slow. Coating giclees. Applying for grants...a most intensive endeavor. The application process is tedious, but the satisfaction experienced from completion and sending off with a huge blessing of faith is so gratifying. I'm on a roll with the grant process. Very few individual artist grants available. Why is that?
I'm painting in some of the details on the upper part of the horses. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have no idea why I spent so much time sketching in their legs as most of it will be obliterated by the crashing water. I suppose I'll have indication in areas of transparency. Note the chalk line still visable...above is light, below will be shadow. I like the contrast of the background with the light-filled heads.

This is beautiful, I'm enjoying watching your progress on this piece. :-)
Hi Sharon,
I am also enjoying the process and progress on creating this painting. I am also interested in learning more about the grants that you are applying for...are they equine related? Thanks for sharing your art making with all of us.

Katherine: although progress is slow, I'm learning so much and gaining confidence to be able to paint out of my head...less reliance on reference photos. Thanks for visiting.
Sue: Oh, if only there were grants specific for equine artists! I applied for a project-based grant from Creative Capital and am currently working on the Pollack-Krasner fellowship. Excruciatingly time consuming as competition is immense.
coming along...it's absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Lorna. I'm waiting to see the artwork that fits into that gargantuan frame!
