Finished Piece

Result

Here is the result of what was started yesterday. Unfortunately the colors look desaturated in these photos. Try to imagine them brighter. It is dark here, so the light is not good for photography.

The whole piece. It ended up being mixed media: watercolor, colored pencils, and various pens. The concept, as requested by Leah, was a western setting with a horse. So this is a prairie spring.

A close up of phlox and buttercups and such.

This was done from a photo of an actual wild horse. He is doing a sort of stepping pace.

  1. I love it! This reminds me so much of the many horse themed art works you did forty years ago. (I still have one or two of them). It's great. Now I wish I had won the contest. Leah is very excited!
