Horse sense is the thing a horse has, which keeps it from betting on people.
– W. C. Fields

FEATURED in Art Universe, Permanent feature page – For the Love of Horses 9 July 2011

Photograph of Old Ben, a neighbour’s lovely horse, taken a while ago in Hepburn Springs with a Canon EOS 450D, altered, processed and layered with a paper texture from Shadowhouse in Photoshop CS3. This is another version of the “Old Ben” image which is on my website.

I wasn’t going to post it here, but I seem to have lost my horse sense recently, so posting now as a reminder to self LOL!

About Chris Armytage™

I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t create, it’s as natural to me as breathing, especially now that we have the tools to achieve great art with digital photography. It’s so exciting and I feel that my creativity has finally come to fruition with these fantastic digital tools.
