Absolutely love the way you played with negative and positive space here; and the juxtaposition of the sharp details on the horse and the suggestion of plants in the background. And the colors! Lovely!

question how did you avoid paint overlapping the shape of of the horse (like that white body of the horse and the tail)
this is awesome by the way ^^

Your use of color and line and negative space just kills me <33

I saw a WIP image of this on facebook through the Equipped Equine page. I LOVE it! I just randomly stumbled upon it here and I have to say that it is a beautiful and stunning piece.

Thank you very much! You don't happen to have the link to the image on facebook, do you? I'm concerned by the fact that you just 'stumbled across it' here, did they not show a source link?

I really like how you've done this piece. The colour outlining the body of the horse really gives off a nice contrast. Very well done!

Very nicely done; I've never seen such a massive amount of

Thanks Dick! I've been playing around with different ideas on the use of negative space. I find that sometimes pieces are more interesting when you impose severe limits, as well. Trying to keep it creative!

Your latest piece is like well, the Buddhists feel
that blank space holds great power. And I must admit,
I'm into Zen. Mozart once said: "The best music is NO music."
He was referring to the pauses between phrases, etc etc.
Keep up the creative approach ~ whatever that may be.
