They're Not Dancing Yet - palette knife oil painting

24 X 30 Oil on Canvas Contact Artist for Availability
The State of the Union Address is tonight and I have heard that some senators are going to "sit with the enemy" - Democrats and Republicans side by side. How nice. I wonder how many will be gritting their teeth! I have not seen them dancing together yet!!!!
I rode little Dandy yesterday - all by myself (yes, Mom, and no bones were broken!) I followed Trista's orders and did not let her get pushy and come into my space. I lunged her and flexed her and got up properly without twisting the saddle and she stood quietly.
Whew.
That was almost enough. But we also walked and trotted in the round pen. And turned and stopped and backed up and side passed. My "horse legs" are returning.
This painting is a bit different for me. It's painted with a palette knife over another image that was a semi-abstract that I just could not finish. It was also two horses fighting, so I have kept with the theme, but changed the composition and color - a LOT. These rich warm browns and earth tones really look cool in my studio, too, so I will be happy to live with it in here for a while.

Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp.

I posted this last week even though I was not completely satisfied with it and I KNEW I had to do something more to it. I left it out and studied it and visualized what was missing, and this afternoon I tackled it. I received several e-mails that said ya'll liked it as is. Well, I didn't and this is today's work. I like it better. Sometimes, change is good - and I'm NOT talking about our political leaders - I mean within OURSELVES!
