Run Like The Wind

You might say I’m fond of everything but horses have a special hold on me, although I’m terrified of riding one I like to see them gallop and play. They are some of the happiest creatures along with dolphins. Horses are complex to replicate a painting of them because of their muscle structure but if you never do something you would never learn or improve. I started how every artist would start and that’s by following a picture but which picture should I choose. I had a whole book full of horses dying to be painted but this horse really stood out to me. The way its mane looked enflamed in the sun and the mascara like stain that ran from its eyes. Some may say it’s a sign of sadness but I see tears of joy and freedom. I truly enjoyed painting this piece and I hope to do another one before the end of the year.
