"Foggy Workout" The third in the series for the Harness Tracks of America auction (due date mid June for image submission). This is a 9 x 12 exercise in depicting a foggy and mist-shrouded day. Now, getting the values believable is the biggest challenge in painting overcast days, so that when you look at it, you say, "Yes, it must be overcast." One has to deal with a narrower middle range of values (light to dark) to get it right. And all colors are muted as well. The source-horse for this one was brightly lit in sunshine, so in addition to getting the atmospheric feeling in the background, I had to make sure the horse wasn't screaming "SUNLIGHT". Fun to do, of course. A puzzle to solve!
