Oil Sketch: The McIntosh's Stable (13 x 13)

This afternoon, after all my chores were done, it was late afternoon. I was wondering whether I should go out to paint. The weather was so good that I told myself that I would paint not too far from home. I hadn't seen my good friends the McIntosh's for some time so I decided to go to theirs to paint. It took a little more than an hour. This time I did things backward. The horses kept going in and out and would not stay put. Therefore, I painted the stable first. When one of the horses came back, I added it on. It was interesting to see that the horse seemed to be deciding whether he wanted to go out again.
