Making it better

I like my painting better after I applied the multitude versus singles alteration to the grouping of my horses.  However I still find some glaring booboos, one of which is this particular animal,


I must have expanded its chest as an afterthought, attempting to make the horse appear more robust.  The right front leg is now out of place.  In the attempt to line-up the leg with the chest by adding to what I had painted, I inadvertently created a fearsome arm wrestler with uneven arm sizes.

The more I look at it the more I notice this annoying glitch.  It is like when we are told not to look at someone's huge zit on the forehead, that's the only thing we land our eyes on.

After days of brainstorming, I come up with a clever solution.  I think.

I am going to add some dilapidated fencing around the horses, as if they are held in a pen.  I am using the fence posts and the crossbars to hide my mistakes and to divert attention.


The yelping dog is an afterthought.  The agitating canine is reacting to the equine pack trying to escape the broken corral, lending a hand to the storyline of this painting. 

And my friend digitizes my painting to this,


I love it!
