Worked on arranging a still life I'm mulling over.  In my head, it has a quirky sense of humor about it.  Perhaps a little on the dark side for some.  But, it should be a lot of fun for me.  The shadow angle I see in my head is a bit elusive.  Like the horses, it may need two light sources.  The horses lit from the tents in the front were blue and white, lit from the top were orange, yellow, and pink.  Really, that was so much fun for me that I painted it once on a half sheet and again on a full sheet.  Even now when I look at it, I want to try it again and change it up a bit.  I love the crazy over-the-top aspect of the subject matter.  Well, back to work.
