These are beautiful. The marks are very expressive and have captured the freedom of these horses so well. It is realistic but there is an almost abstract feel because of the colour scheme and expressiveness of this piece and I think it works really well. Really really brilliant

Really loved reading your comment. I very much appreciate your observations of my work. It helps me to know what others think and whether or not they like the colour scheme, the composition and my style.

Awesome! The color scheme is well handled. I love how few colors you used, and how you worked with a basically complimentary palette, but kept it cool and soft. Nicely contrasted with the energy filled strokes and texture. They almost break down to abstract--almost.

Tahnja In reply to Marbletoast [2011-01-21 02:41:31 +0000 UTC]

Love your comment! Very observant...I reversed the colours and temperature of my light and shadow from the original photo and was worried how it might turn out but in the end it turned out great. I seem to excel much better with a very limited pallette. I basically only used blue, black, white, raw umber and red. I underpainted my canvas in beige so that's the slight warmth you can see burning through in seelct spots which I thought was really neat.

I'm not sure if my cooler pallette will work in galleries in Australia though. They seem to prefer warmer/Australian colours. I will just have to see how they go I guess. Always nerve-wracking trying something a little out of the norm. Thank you!

It definitely holds the piece together very well! Best of luck with the galleries! It'd be nice to have something a little different in the mix--hope they think so, too! ^_^
