ok, this is where I've ended this studio painting before leaving on a Christmas trip. After Christmas I will finish it. I don't think there is a name for this procedure. I'm searching for the lights, the colors as these horses emerge from the shady part of the pasture. I know - it looks creepy now without eyes and such. When painting plein air, the thinking process is the same, except I make a big effort to simplify the compositional shapes, and hold back on the details that are icing on the cake. After Christmas, I would like to use big flourishing brushwork to finish- we'll see. Wish I had silver paint to capture the mane of the horse on the right - it was just gleaming......usually clicking on the images will give more detail, except in this case I'm avoiding detail.
