In this one I was encorporating a style, yes only part of the horse is supposed to be there.
The inspiration for this was some native american black and white pottery. I really liked working on her. I started with black gesso added the paper and then drew her on the page. It seemed to be too dark so I added the background at the end.
Finally got around to painting a Raven. The artist whose work I was encorporating used a lot of vertical lines so I added them to my background. I am pretty happy with this piece too. I am finding if I treat these experiments as pure play the work is easier and I feel better about it. I am so loving this class.
Oh, Kate, your groove is a good one ! I am loving the mood in these pieces and the bits of edge that you have added (ie the half horse, the vertical lines, the pottery reference). And I love the Raven very much !Stay in the groove, your Majesty. It suits you.
