This is last Friday's effort. I'm falling behind schedule due to the incredible Traver's weekend. I finally met
Thomas Allen Pauly in person who is American Pharoah's Official Triple Crown Artist. He's a great guy and multi-talented artist. Spent a bit of time showing him around Oklahoma and talking art/horses in my booth.
I photographed this scene with my good camera from several angles to use as reference for a later studio painting. I love the light filtering through the translucent white bandages and I want to spend more time getting the hang of this backlighting. However, this one is purely plein air:

Today I'm debating if I'll attempt to go out and paint later this afternoon at all. I'd love to but my body is not cooperating by giving me a very sore throat (and not from screaming during the Travers). Just a reminder of what a breakneck schedule we keep, sleep being non-existent on the list of priorities.
Cough, sniff,
Sharon

Wow, a busy time. I have enjoyed all your forty days paintings. Applause! My dad was a horse trainer when I was 5 and I love all these full of atmosphere!
How wonderful that you had the chance to grow up with horses Jo! Did he train thoroughbreds or another genre?
