A Knights Victory

Watercolor on Arches 140 lb. Cold Press  12" x 16"

Completed in 1996 - If I remember correctly. This one is representative of my early days in working with watercolor. I had attended a rennaisance faire in Triune, TN and had taken photo's with the idea that they would be good source material. This painting was one of several I did with those photo's. I remember being pleased with some of the details on the knight but not with the tree line in the background. That part was quickly done without alot of thought. I consider it now to be a good "learning moment" for me. Another issue I have now is that there was little thought to the composition. I think that is what bothers me most is that the painting as a whole doesn't make sense. Oh well ...
