Fantastic! How I wish I could produce something like this. The mane and tail are rendered so well, as is the lighting - it certainly could stand on it's own and is just beautiful!! Background is not bad either!!![]()

Oh God of homeless things, look down
And try to ease the way
Of all the little weary paws
That walk the world

WOW! A magnificent horse indeed and what a masterful economy of exceptional brushstrokes! I'm speechless! It may well be also a unicorn, as magnificent as it looks!
Robyn alias Copespeak, who is an expert professional and like this subject, painting many wonderful horses herein, would agree too I guess.
Panta rei (everything flows)!
Fantastic work CartuneMan! I really like the diffused background that is in front of the horse (down the path). Great strokes.
I will need to stop by your house sometime and see how this painting thing is done! Since you are right down the street...
I would love that. I do like conversations with fellow artist! I can also be found on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/jblackford2 just copy this post or if it is clickable you can find me there as well.

I feel pretty sure I recall the other painting this was used in. . .I actually think I may like it here on it's own even better. I like how you achieve these effects, been going for a bit more stroke economy lately (kind of have to, been working too hard lately and my forearms are starting to have pains again, even with me taking breaks :/). I may very well start counting my brush strokes mentally to make me more aware of how much I am using.
Per the usual, crazy awesome painting, love those strokes!
Very nice beastie! Makes you want to hop on and ride away off yonder. . . in a cloud of dust, at the speed of light, with a hearty Hi Ho Silver!!! AWAAAAAaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!
Righting wrongs, daring do. . . I guess Silver's waiting for such a one. A horse can't do it alone, ya know. . .
Noble looking beast. Very nice painting. It's like he's looking over his shoulder and saying, "Alright. That was a decent effort. Now get back on. . . Heroes are so hard to train anymore. . ."

A beautiful horse marvelously painted.
WOW just love it, beautiful work
Sometimes I go back and look at paintings I had missed and am surprised by the quality of work. This one is extraordinary.
