I had never met this horse until April 2010. It was love at first sight—but, then, I have been known to fall in love at first sight before—with horses, that is. It doesn't hurt that he is owned by a dear friend. The black gelding has an air about him of being quite in control of himself and somewhat detached from his surroundings. His energy and athleticism are intoxicating and who could resist those delicate little ears?
A print of my impression of Eclipse sold at our Autumn Art Show, October 8 and 9. The lovely lady who bought the print was buying her second of my prints to add to her sizable art collection. I always feel fortunate to send a print to a home where it will hang with a nice collection of art on the walls. May it bring years of pleasure to the new owner.
And what a beautiful portrait that is, Anita.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Paul. This one is rather new and a definite new favorite. I am glad you like it.
DeleteAnita, wow what a fancy and nice new website! Congrats on the success of the Art Show.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anil, for that vote of confidence in the site. It is a relief to have gotten this far with it. And, thanks for that pat on the back. It always feels good to have people who want to take some of your work home to live with them.
DeleteYour continuing photo series of horses is facinating. Though, my fav remain your fine-art "painterly" images. Those have a magical quality that are unique to your style. Love them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anil. I can't stay away from the horses very long at a time. But the "painterly" images really speak to me, as well. While my equine pieces have, over all, sold the best, the last show had the landscapes (in the "painterly" style) doing best. I am not likely to neglect either of these genres. Thanks for your valued thoughts.
