    Love the affect except for the sky over welms the great job you did Tom

    I’m a sucker for horses any time, but this photo has all the lovin’ extras – the cattle ramp and the line of mallee, and even the dried out muddy patch where someone looks to have accelerated not to get stuck. So country! – and now with texture too. Like how the horse’s backs are all around the horizon mark.

  • reflector replied

    Thanks for your very thorough examination of this image Shallay ! It’s pretty easy to see that you have painted and drawn, from your words.
    I’m glad that you faved it, and really glad that you liked the composition.

    horses are cool also.

  • reflector replied

    This is an older work that I missed. Very nice, James. xoxo

    Love the treatment mate, the texture makes it almost look painted.

  • reflector replied

    Thanks Parmi, that’s the intention ! I’ve loved Art for many years, especially the paintings done by the Old Masters. I don’t paint but I try to emulate the style of brush stokes digitally.
