This officially is the last painting of my Polo series. No action this time. Its a 'after the action' scene. Hence calling it 'After a game'.
Actually this scene was the first one I did. But it was so bad that I tore it off and decided to do it once again. And for that I had to become good enough to attempt it again. And that is how the series happened. The rest of the paintings till now were done so that I could paint this one. I am also posting the small WC sketch I had done. From that sketch to the final painting the visualization has changed a lot, all thanks to the series. Of course I liked the white horses I did in the last painting. They had to feature in this one. :)
Finally a big thank you to all of you for all the encouragement for this series.

Prabal, they are WONDERFUL! You really have portrayed the horsey atmosphere perfectly. I love your white horses, too. For some unknown reason, white horses are referred to as "grays"??? And grays are called "grays", too. Go figure. :)
I like them all. Most "white" horses have a lot of gray hair on them. We had some that looked very white from a distance, but were not the true white. Lovely series.
DESTROYED?! *sheds tear* why Prabal?? Next time you feel like destroying one of your paintings you just pack it on up and send it to me okay???? *giving you a stern look* okay?? It is beautiful, I don't know what you don't like about it, other than there aren't any white horses in it. lol.
I love the new one, it's such a peaceful piece, there's a feeling of accomplishment between the riders that's awesome.
And last of all, your sketch is FANTASTIC. I love it as much as I love chocolate cupcakes. Well. . .nearly. :))
I don't know why you tore off the first one, it looks perfectly beautiful to me! The grass and the trees are so natural and perfect against the dark horses.
I like the others,too.Funnily,though I like the sketch the most!Its loose and spontaneous.Good work, Prabal.
Well Prabal, you continue to amaze me! These are so beautiful :0)
I love that you have ended your series with one that is after the game. An excellent finish! So, what's next? :0)
Hadn't visited your blog for a while --and what treats I missed! I really like your new series -- you have captured the excitement of the Polo games beautifully! I agree with Crystal -anytime you want a painting gone, let me know --i will send my mailing address :)
wow! fantastic!
These are all SO outstanding, Prabal. I'm going to miss this series ...now I'm anxious to see your next piece!!!
Oh yes! This is an outstanding end to a great series. The new last painting is just fabulous and so atmospheric. So much better than the first version, which was fine, but not outstanding.
Prabal, you've surpassed yourself! xx
