This one is based on the Disney animated film, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” of which my daughter Amy is a massive fan. I painted this one for her birthday. The image you see doesn’t actually appear in the film. I loved the image of the henchman’s horse rearing back as the horseman swings his sword, while Ichabod and his horse come to a screeching halt in fear. I had to use these two images that came from different parts of the film, and I simply paired them together. Painting an animated image is a bit different from most other painting I do because there is very little traditional shadowing in this. Animation artists like to outline the image with a white or black line, which I found to be a challenge since I don’t have the steadiest hand.

Hi RG,
Your shows are great! The coughing in the mic or music going on when it shouldn’t is all part of the show that makes it real! Don’t ever worry about that or apologize… You have a really good and fun show. I look forward to it every week.
I was wondering if you would ever consider doing a Cool stories of music on Leon Russell he’s one of my favorites and I think he’s overlooked a lot. He’s musically very interesting . Check him out if you have time and thanks for all you do ,,Love you , Linda, walker & your whole family too ,, Donna.♥️👏🏻
