I love to take leisurely drives around the northern rural areas to some of the farming communities in hopes of catching a glimpse of hard working Amish folks working their land with the use of their heavy work horses. I must admit for me it is a welcomed much simpler lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of surrounding highways, area shopping plazas and the bumper to bumper traffic.
Here is a 16 by 20 inch oil painting on canvas ….. a farmer tilling up his garden with the aid of what appears to be 3 of his beautiful heavy horses. I really worked the light in this scene against the dark forested area as well as capturing the varied greens thoroughout the scene. ( yes I love my varied greens..lol)
I still need to do a few minor tweaks including adding in the reigns to the horses.
Thanks again
John
Thanks Jim….very much appreciated.
Yes memories of days gone by…..John
About three miles along the road from here, there is a Farmer who Breeds Clydesdale Horses, so we have the pleasure of seeing them in the fields, often with a Foal.
