"A Sharp Right Turn." by Michael LeKites


Finally finished it. This completes the series of paintings on our right and freedom as Americans to protest. As I posted earlier, each of these paintings have a portion of one of the three statues that make up the Grant Memorial directly in front of the Capital. This particular painting depicts a team of horses pulling a cannon. The flag man is signaling an abrupt right turn to the team and the horses are in the midst of that turn. I am anxious to get started now on something different that involves the Renaissance period. This is Acrylic, 16x20.
