Still does not sound right. The painting does look unfinished, perhaps because it is done in light tones?loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-32133063985439397252015-04-21T14:40:09.887-07:002015-04-21T14:40:09.887-07:00Wow, he was not old when he died, but sounds like ...Wow, he was not old when he died, but sounds like he was extremely prolific.

I like your theme, and even today, artists are criticized for using photographs to draw or paint, though it's very common now.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mauijungalow.com/" rel="nofollow">Maui Jungalow</a><br />Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292408696265388415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-26140603800699255222015-04-21T12:11:51.559-07:002015-04-21T12:11:51.559-07:00Hi Natasha.

This picture has a kind of unfinished look about it and I have actually heard of this painter!<br />But what really intrigues me about this post is.....did he actually take his wife <i><b>and</b></i> his childhood sweetheart with him? Or did he, disappointingly take his 'wife and childhood sweetheart' with him?<br /><b><a href="http://todiscoverice.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> CLICK HERE for Bazza’s fabulous Blog ‘To Discover Ice’</a></b>bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-91807844002142278912015-04-21T12:01:41.084-07:002015-04-21T12:01:41.084-07:00I think they are trying to flee the Indians.

If I am ever in Chicago... that would be on my list. Horses have to be the most difficult subjects to paint or sketch.
