Spit and Spat, Congress Park repair

Back in 1999 I was fortunate to be able to be invited in the pit while Matthew Hanlon and his crew was repairing these beautiful statues. I photographed to my hearts content...(well...ONE roll of film!)

The next layer to fine tune the proportions and to start to introduce color.

Here's where I will start to go back and forth between the light and dark contrasts after each drying.

Featured Artist, Dave Papa

One of Soave Faire's many original artists on display in their gallery upstairs!

"Dave Papa is a premier equine artist living in Saratoga Springs. His art is sold internationally and commercially, and his original oils are in many prominent private collections."

Daves paintings are great, I like the ones that have the background muted as though looking through a camera with a tite aperature depth-of field...very nice!

Over this past summer he spent many days outside of Soave Faire painting horses and has amassed quite a collection of horse painting, very reasonably priced I might add...
