Oil Sketch: Horseshoer Ray (15 x 20)

I think I should have focused on the horse and the man instead of trying to depict the environment. Ray worked with three horses this morning at Lane's farm. He spent around 15 minutes on each horse. On the average, he stayed in the pose for about four minutes since he had to work on the other three feet, too. Therefore, I had altogether only twelve minutes for the pose, considering the three horses.

he is coming back Tuesday week, again. I hope I'll d a better job then.
