Finished - Horse racing painting

Finally, after probably close to 18 hours work, I finished my latest horse racing painting in the Artists’ group last night. Here it is: -

Racing from Newmarket

I didn’t do a huge amount last night. There was more work to do on putting in the crowd on the far right of the picture, although I didn’t really want to do much more than suggest a less than capacity crowd. Above them I wanted to put in some detail of the main stand. Then, after adding some mottling to the turf I was rapidly getting to the stage where you have to ask yourself whether it’s time to stop before you end up overworking the whole thing. I did a wee bit more work on the roof of the stand, and then signed it in the corner. Done.
