Pastel on Board, 27 in. x 40 in., Private Collection

Gary Wingar, kennelman for the Monmouth County Hunt, walking hounds at sunrise on the Assunpink Reservoir. The mist was still rising from the fields, the shadows long and cool, and the light was a warm rose-gold color. He’s wearing the traditional brown kennel coat used in the UK. In America, they wear white kennel coats.
