Which Way to Horses Knees Bend?
The Waxahachie Paintout Prepaint is in full swing.
To break the ice, I started out with a day of painting
at Maty Rabien’s farm. Such a nice choice of subject matter, landscapes with wildflowers and cactus, chickens with elegant plumage, a lovely dusty white
and brown horse with his companion a red pony.
I don’t get to paint animals often so they are a real challenge. I found that I had never noticed that a horses front knees bend forward and his back leg knees bend backward! Just never thought about it. I couldn’t figure what was wrong with my horse until Mary pointed out the broken front legs! A little redo and a glass of wine afterwards made the day a total success.
