"Hunt Country" 9x12, oil on panel
Two years ago I participated in Plein Air Brandywine Valley for the 8th or 9th year in a row. I always enjoyed returning to Chester County, Pennsylvania for this awesome fall paint out. The fall colors were always spectacular, as were the many gorgeous locations where we were permitted to paint.
On this particular bright autumn morning, the group was set up at a private residence and horses were already grazing in the meadow.
The morning light was clear, the air was crisp and to top it off we suddenly heard horns in the background.
Knowing we were in hunt country, the artists raced across the road with cameras in hand to capture the scene as the Radnor Hunt approached to the tune of beagles barking and horses prancing through the woodlands.
The horseback riders of Radnor Hunt graciously came over to chat with us for a bit before they continued their pursuit of foxes and we returned to our easels.
This is the second year that the Paint Out has been cancelled due to Covid. The hubby and I are going to go up to Pennsylvania in mid October and I hope to have a chance to do some painting of that gorgeous fall foliage that I so miss down here in Florida.
This painting is available. Please contact me at maryannejacobsen@aol.com if interested.
