I started this picture a few days prior to my Father-in-law's passing. He was an incredible Man. I was fortunate to have him in my life. This is dedicated to Charles with love and saddness. Miss you!Rest in peace, Charles August 19th, 2008 |

It's moving O.O what a stunning art you've created! Such a lovely horse!

Very nice! I like all the soft colors, I think they add a lot of motion to this picture. Also the delicateness of the horse's head is beautiful. My only critique would be that anatomically the horse is a little off, I think his/her chest should be deeper and, from that angle, not quite so long in the back. Still a very nice drawing though, keep it up.

Thanks so much Dorsy and Juni... your comments are really appreciated. I really struggled with this as the photo reference was quite distorted. I tried several times to get that position correct in order to better portray the anatomy, but in the end, I was not successful. I also like the head and the legs, hooves were a good study excercise for me. I sometimes wonder if a tablet would make a difference for me. I always have used a mouse. When I work large, it doesn't seem to be an issue, but when I am working in a lot of details and curving lines, it seems to really take soooo much time. Thanks to both of you! |

The ritual of nail painting dates back to 3000 BCE ... first practiced by the Chinese as something of a status symbol. The royal dynasty wore silver and gold ... and commoners were only permitted to wear pale shades. Deviations from this custom were punishable by death.

Woo hoo!, I knew you could do it, this looks awesome and I love the tones of color you used. This would be so cool hanging in a young teens room *girls of course*, well done Aak.

And God created horses .... for you to ride and as an adornment. KORAN

Thanks QT ... I have a few details to rework on this ... and yes patience is something I have learned, it saves me time and money in the long run, some things that look nice or seem nice don't always translate to "wow" compositions for painting.
klm21 (Jun 29, 2008)
that is a beutifull horse very nice drawing good details...
Aakyra (Jun 30, 2008)
Thanks so much K! Even though this has been submitted I have tweaking it for a competition I want to enter. I may do several more small changes. I appreciate you taking time to look at my work!

In recognition and memory of "Eight Belles", Kentucky Derby - 2008Your "Run for the Roses" was magnificent.... From sire to sire, it's born in the blood The fire of a mare and the strength of a stud It's breeding and it's training ... and it's something unknown That drives you and carries you home. And it's run for the roses as fast as you can Your fate is delivered and your moment's at hand It's the chance of a lifetime, in a lifetime of chance ... And it's high time you joined in the dance |
