Shock of shocks, this in not 9x12"! I broke out and did this long view of the horse pasture up on Wesley Chapel road. I've been meaning to do this long view for quite some time and I made a special MDF board just for it. I was interested in the muscadine grape vine and placement of the trees almost like a necklace. This is an idea I gleaned from a painting by Degas of a horse race. Interesting association because this painting includes a few of them. Size is only 6.5 x 17.5 and I think this would make a good larger painting. The background was at first quite detailed with the autumn tree line but I brushed it back so as not to take away too much from the foreground.
