Horse Ballet – Snapshot – Second Act

Horse Ballet - Snapshot - Take 2
Horse Ballet – Snapshot Second Act, 34×28″, oil on masonite

This painting might look familiar. It was “done” a few months ago, but I was just not happy with it. After reworking it several times, I do think I like it now! Thus the name, Snapshot Second Act.

Who remembers how this dancer appeared in the first act? This beautiful Spotted Saddle Horse stallion from McNatt Farms in Tennessee was in a whirlwind of warm colors. Fancy and bright, but it just did not give me the Horse Ballet drama I was looking for…. Here’s the before shot.

The photo at the top is the “after” shot. What do you think? Which do you like best?
