Another artwork finished...

Here's the piece I was working on the last few weeks. This is a really super-crappy photo of it. I'll have to have a friend with a quality digital camera to get a better pic of it... this shows no color range, doesn't show the blurred effect I gave it.... doesn't show the evil red glint in the front horse's eye... but you get the gist of the work from this photo.

I'm going to call it "The Night Mares"

It is chalk pastel on matboard... size is about 32" X 40" so it's the largest piece I've made so far.

I guess the horses at the racetrack inspired this work. Race horses are not your typical docile riding horses, they are often mean nasty creatures that will bite your arm off if you're not watching at all times. I've been kicked in the back, had my nose about broken... but it's not their fault, they were raised that way. Bred and trained to RUN, not allowed to be a horse :(
