Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier is one of my favorite painter of horses. Military scenes were something he was known for, which required knowing horses. I like his sketches best, have copied this one before and look forward to copying others.
From the series, the snow goose that fell from the sky last winter. Scared the dickens out of my old white horse and startled me, too. They are not as big as Canada Geese.
Spent a few days with Annie in DC. Joined her and Joan for their morning painting exercises, several twenty minutes sessions with a still life. Spent two mornings with these colorful eggs. The twenty minute stints are a good exercise. It is long enough to allow some paint to be put down and check things, but not too long to get beyond help!.
Pretty much painted from the same viewpoint, only a few weeks later with snow
