One of the things I liked most about whipping-in and miss is the point of view that a whip has. So often it is a lot of waiting and watching....and enjoying the views of the land. How the light lays across a field, the play of cloud shadows in the sky and land, the quiet sounds of "empty" areas, how a rustle in the brush can be fox, deer, hound or raccoon and how loud and annoying one vehicle can be! I loved sitting on my good horse, aware of how the hounds were working across the countryside and enjoying the expanse of land. It was always a good way to spend time. These views from my often solitary positions remain some of my favorite landscapes to paint. In my sandwich case is always a camera.
