Dragon Horse - oil painting
One from my archives. I painted this some time ago now during a live session so unfortunately don't have the process pictures leading up to the final picture and finished its fine details a while after. And although I have shared this on my other social platforms thought it might be received well here on steemit.
I let my imagination run on this one with shape and colour while sticking to the basic principles of a horse.
I just love any opportunity to use really vivid colours in my work as it reflects the mood I'm generally in while painting. This painting took me back to when I was a young lad forever drawing horses and or birds. It was an on session with me from a very tender age and has become one of my great loves in my painting areas. I painted this picture in oils without a sketch and felt very pleased with the results. It now sits proudly in a local gallery along some of my other pieces just waiting for that one person to fall in love with it and take it home with them. I hope you enjoy the picture.
Sits proudly in a local gallery? Congratulations!! What an achievement to have your art in a public place! :)
I somehow missed your title and I was thinking: Is it a horse or is a dragon? Then I read your title, lol :D
It's simply amazing and it's very difficult to determine what it really is so you did a great job with the shape and making it some kind of a 'mutant'. The colors are lovely! It looks so cheerful and I can imagine hanging it in my living room. Oh, and I truly love how the colors blended...
Very well done! In the future you could maybe share some new artworks with progress photos :) This could attract wider audience to your posts - just a suggestion and it's of course entirely up to you how you maintain your account :)
Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!
