Tidal River - Wilson Prom oil painting

This work in progress painting, will be of Tidal River - Wilson Prom, in Australia. The first thing you will notice is that I havn't drawn anything on the canvas, but instead painted the sky directly on to it. I have an idea in my mind where I'm going to place things, so a comprehensive drawing at this stage is uneccessary. Garry Medium Used: Genesis Heat Set Artist oil. Size: 45.7x91.4cm (18x36inch) on stretched canvas.

Horse oil painting update

Paintied the eye and main undercoat colour of the draft horse. Garry

A bit of paint slapped on.

Just a quick update to show Iv'e started the chestnut horse #2. Not much happening at the moment. Garry
