Description a Racehorse and a loner from the mountains..

..their lives simply can´t match.


This was ment to be ready earlier but err.. the 2nd season-set of Sopranos kept on "distracting" me

Anyway-done with pencil-and watercolours on just plain white paper. Dunno how many hours this took, but did this in parts. And check-it-OUT! --> an ALMOST-backround!!

Enjoy this year´s winter, cause I sure will!

edit 5th of august 2010
----> I decided to add smth I told one of the reviewers, because it gives more "light" to the backround of this pic

"I was just thinking the small mare trying coldly explain to the racehorse how not only do they live in different circles of life but are also different by nature: When HE circles the same familiar paths in his life over and over again, scared not to step aside, SHE´s a loner who avoids stucking into same paths and wants to explore life in form of new paths at the mountains. You could say she´s almost like a shark who dies if she stays put too long.."

The mountains in this piece are so different! I enjoy how you used the blues to create the depth, and your choice of style for them.

Thx Since it was my first try with mountains, I felt any style´d be ok, as long as it suits the rest of the picture ^ ^

The use of lines to create contours on the horses and mountains is quite striking. I like your unique style.

I've been meaning to comment on this for ages, but never got around to it.
I finally stumbled upon it again while browsing and remembered. :]

Anyways, this piece is FANTASTIC. I mean like, seriously. The style is wonderful and keeps the viewer's eyes from wandering, the colors selected are perfect, and the concept is well played. Great job, hun!

Drunken-Cat In reply to CharlieWaldron [2009-01-04 16:04:47 +0000 UTC]

why thank u ^ ^ Nah, loooong way to call myself an artist But I´d love to try having an exhebition someday as jefrma here at DA, I have some animal-drawings/paintings, which I´d include next to the horse-ones. But most of my pics are small (A4), so I´d need many more to fullfill even a small area for an exhibition Maybe this year or the next? Time will tell

yeah that´s one scary part about getting money by being artist: it makes u a freelancer--> meaning everyday is MONDAY! I just decided I wont add this one scenery as a backround to that A3-work of mine, because Im SCARED it comes out horrible -because Im not familiar with drawing nature- and since I worked really hard for the details of the three horses on that paper, I would be sooo down if the backround fails all the work I´ve

So I´ll just have to go the abstrackt way.

This is so beautiful, the details are amazing. The mountains are awesome.
I love how they are not in the boxed background, but popping out. Makes it very interesting and unique!

Why thank you so much for your opinion, watch and s! ** Compared to my first months here I´ve now tried to make every horse-drawing look a bit different from the rest, so at times it´s their look, surroundings, frame-style or their backround (fictional character) and of course lately I´ve tried to step closer to more realistic look ^ ^

Thank you again and have a nice snowy day there

in that case have disappoint u,cause there wasn´t a story behind this like there was in ´meadow lost to love´

I was just thinking the small mare trying coldly explain to the racehorse how not only do they live in different circles of life but are also different by nature: When HE circles the same familiar paths in his life over and over again, scared not to step aside, SHE´s a loner who avoids stucking into same paths and wants to explore life in form of new paths at the mountains.

Hey this is marvellous! I love it! The mountains were the first thing I noticed and thought "wow". You managed to draw the horses well once again. And I think the shadow brings great depth to this piece. Beautiful!

Drunken-Cat In reply to KaraNoir [2008-11-20 16:45:13 +0000 UTC]

Kiiiiiitoksia First I thought about colouring the framing white are, but decided it looked much better this way. Personally Im so happy for the racer´s neck and mane ^ ^ both look more realistic than in ANY of my horsedrawings earlier

The background is AMAZING. The ice blue colour is so beautiful.
Theshadow is absolutly good for the drawing. It leads the eye from one horse to the other.
The horsesd are well drawn as always. I especially love their natural colour.

thank you for that creative comment, especially the shadow-part Im much more pleaced with the racer, propably because I didn´t manage to add the same strong "muscle" whitelines on the pony as they appear nicely on the racer´s neck
