The work is painted superbly with strong, decisive strokes in thick, rich oil paints that enable one to see his brush strokes clearly. This great work of art is an original work by, Van. This is the first time it has ever been shown anywhere. So, you, if you are the high bidder, will be the original owner. Van, has spent years in England and loves to talk about and more importantly, to paint Fox Hunt scenes. This one has 7 excellent horses, complete with properly attired riders and 10 English Foxhounds. A lot of hard work. But, Van loves to paint them. Fox hunts are expensive because of all this work. Some foreign artists (not naming any names here) will attempt a Fox Hunt scene. But, their dogs end up looking like pigs and their riders bear a strong resemblance to comic book, cartoon characters. However, we are obliged to compete with them and their teamwork, oil paintings as far as price is concerned. Of course, we cannot compete. But, they cannot compete with American and European artists on quality and it is this quality that will make you proud to display a piece like this fabulous painting by Van. What a marvelous painting. The horses are worthy of George Stubbs, the famed horse painter of the late 1700's. You can tell Van loves horses. These are so sleek and fit looking. The figures of the people are excellent as well. But, the horses are  painted in great detail. It looks like a lovely morning for a Fox Hunt with a rather rare, but I'm sure, well appreciated, blue sky. Van says, I love Fox Hunt scenes because they remind me of England. I buy all I can find when I am there, never having had one go unsold.  I can feel the jolly atmosphere early morning, Fox Hunts inevitably bring. Later, around noon, they will all gather at some roadside, country pub with all the dogs and horses in a glorious clamor around the front, while the Fox Hunters sit inside by a roaring fire with a pint and tell stories of how he got away - once again. Don't you let this painting get away. I'm sure it will be a treasure in your family for years to come. So bid away. Tally Ho!! This framed painting is in excellent condition .
