Who could ever forget Middleburg Christmas Parade of 2009? Snow was in the forecast but never did we suspect we would get pouring snow that amounted to over three feet. That did not stop the parade, hounds, viewers or cameras from taking in a magical day! My camera was soaked even under the wraps I had covered it with. For this painting I chose a simple composition. In reality the parade is quite noisy but when I was looking through my photos this one spoke a different aura of quiet solitude. I could feel a memory I never witnessed of days gone by when the hunt did not have an audience as they walked hounds through town on their way home. As our countryside grows in admiration with new comers we loose the simplicity that must have existed. I bet it was a peaceful sportman's life.
