Artist's Comments

Aaaugh... title failure. ^^; See, I'm terrible with words. But I must give them up, it seems, if I am to continue painting. How dreadful...

Anywho, to the point. A painting for the ever-fantastic *Himmapaan, who is an amazing illustrator and a wonderful person, and an inspiration to many. If for whatever reason you have not heard of him, well... :no: I must say, however, that he is very busy at the moment, so he won't likely be able to reply to anyone for quite some time. I figured he might enjoy having this, as he gave such a glowing review to my last Iberian portrait... :blushes: :giggle: I hope this painting may suffice as a thanks for all of his support since the first few weeks that I came here. :aww:

I'm happy to say that he received it a few days ago, and that it arrived safe and sound, and that he enjoys it, too. :nod: I have my share of worries regarding the post, especially when sending things overseas.

This painting is acrylics on a 8x10 textured masonite board (Pastelbord). Oddly enough, my back started acting weird partways through this... I forgot to get up and move around, it would seem. ^^; Ah, well. It was worth it. :)

Ah, I'd better stop babbling... lord knows you've all heard far too much from me in the past few days. :roll:

As this is a gift, I'll not be offering this as a print. I hope you can understand.

And of course, I'll take your comments, questions, critiques, etc. Thanks all for your continued interest! :hug:

Under no circumstances is this image to be posted elsewhere or manipulated in any way. Thank you for understanding.

Oops! ^^; Forgot to put that in the description... It's acrylics on a textured masonite panel. I'll have to edit the comment! :XD:

This is a wonderful work and I love the calm feeling of it. It's always impressive how you draw and colour fur and hair of all the creatures you draw. Simply astonishing. :heart:

*happy sigh* I adore your equine paintings. You have such a way of capturing their grace. I think any artist would be more than thrilled to receive such a lovely gift. I feel as though I can reach out and touch that mane!

This is lovely! I like the swishy wriggles on the horse's mane and how they sort of flow into the white birds. :nod:

Good to know *Himmapaan received the gift! 8D I think I was still incoherent when I first saw this--as I was just getting over the fact that I get to meet you in person! :XD:

Anyway, the mane is so lovely and generally looks like you had a lot of fun with all that hair for a few hours there. :'D Though, I have to say, the horse-lips and underside of the muzzle are my favorite part of this! It's a difficult angle to capture and you got it picture perfect!

Also--I put the sketch you gave me into my folder of awesome art from other people~
