Finished "Back to the Shed Row" Delaware Ohio

"Back to the Shed Row"
Ok I have finished my last painting of the horse returning to his stall after his race.  I was a little disappointed in that I lost his mane to the dark background and I had to add a little white to the mane to make it stand off the dark stall, after all the mane in the sunlight was what I liked most about the picture!
Hope you like it, I would love some input, pointers.
Thanks for looking!

  1. I don't know that I would've done anything differently. I think the mane stands out and holds it's own nicely. This is a very nice piece Maria. Thanks for sharing.
