I had mentioned in another post that these paintings were all done in haste - I loved the relationship of the girl to the horse in the photo I took and loved the way she was standing and the look on her face -
.
That being said, I can't disagree that her arms are confusing and awkward. My question is, how do you avoid being so caught up with a certain aspect of a picture, that you lose site of other seemingly obvious problems. I also have wondered if the horse kind of took over the painting - in person it doesn't seem so much of a problem. Perhaps with this particular composition, when the horse is as large as it is, it would be difficult for the horse NOT to be the focus of the composition.
The background was entirely made up from my head - I should probably have used some reference - but I didn't want to get too detailed.
I reposted a picture of the painting at the beginning of the thread.
Thanks for all the great feedback.
