Description:
My second attempt with the Horse as subject matter.
This one in particular is quiet unusual in such that the inspiration came about when after staring & observing the plain wood panel for sometime the image of the horse came about all of a sudden. The knots in the wood (the eyes & the nose at the bottom) were the key points that projected the image! I solely rendered the portrait thru these key points & the grains that literally shaped the contour of the horse. Realistic rendering & approach was purposely avoided...I just wanted the wood to tell the story thru the grains & knots that were so predominantly there!
This approach & discovery had started a whole new way for me to create a particular subject matter or theme by letting the wood "speak" to me!
Size: 18" x 24" image only!
