Two horses with burnt trees in the New Forest- oil painting

Two horses with burnt trees in the New Forest - oil painting

Hampshire new Forest horses oil painting M P Davey
Oil on canvas 20” x 16” 2022.
This painting was done as a demo during an event at October Books, Southampton during the summer. Unfortunately, I became ill and messed up the painting. A few weeks later I returned to it and shoved some more paint on it, in an attempt to tart it up and get something out of it. Various pieces of photo reference were used from previous visits.
The painting can be seen in greater detail on this link.
