It was a gloomy fall morning as I looked out the window of my studio.  I painted as the horses were searching for the last few blades of green grass.  Although, the bales of hay had already been put out for them, they were persistent. 

I am sharing 2 versions of this painting.  I didn't think the first one gave the feeling of the gloomy day that I was seeing, so on the "to do" stack it went for another day.  That day arrived today, Dec. 27th, 2009.  I am much more pleased with my revised version.  I hope you will agree. 

Sometimes it is difficult for an acrylic artist to get that gloomy, hazy look.  Let me know what you think about the comparison of these two paintings.

               Version I                                                   Version II

Well, version 2 gives the feeling of the day that I remember.  I think I used too much white in the first painting.  The more muted colors of the second piece are more pleasing to me and I hope to you.

Thanks for following my blog.
Wishing you a Happy New Year,
