| Hey Ocker this one is really good. I love the simple background, the dust from the horses hooves and the way you've kept all the detail and the viwers attantion on the horses heads. Great use of contrast. No green. Knowing when to stop. I think this is the best painting you have posted. Well done. |

green ? yeah well I wondered about that , and thought no ! I like it dry 'n dusty, barren looking
so I asked the lovely ladies on FACE BOOK ' and everyone of them said,

I like this Occer. The drafting is really good and the idea is very clear
Would you consider increasing the contrast in the foreground ground area and also the background forest? It seems to me that the work has quite a mood (GOOD) which could be emphasized if there was more modulation in these areas as they are tonally similar to the rest of the painting, except the focus of the two horses in the centre and the other yokes.
terrific
