“La Détente” painting is finished

“La Détente” is a portrait of my daughter who was warming up on location in Fontainebleau in preparation of a horse show earlier this summer. I was sitting there watching and could not resist the idea of a painting. It was a warm sunny summer day under the cool trees at the Fontainebleau showgrounds. It is a large format 81x100 cm painting, oils on cotton canvas which was nice and bouncy…perfect for the capturing the movement and painting a dapple grey! It will be on display at the exposition at Galerie 39 located in Barbizon from 30 Aug – 5 Sept 2018.
