I'm very pleased to say that the painting "Custer Trail Horse" is finished. A moment ago I signed it and when that dries I'll apply the clear, protective varnish. Perhaps this afternoon I'll take some photographs of it, then get the images on the website as soon as I can get the film developed.
I decided not to add a fence behind the horse. He is supposed to be a trail horse, in a rustic place such as Yellowstone or the Grand Tetons...not on a farm. At such places there are no fences, just hitching posts and this horse is already shown as being tied to a post and is ready to be saddled. He is your gentle guide into the wild and wonderful country behind him.
