Creative Interpretations - Working Horses

[Swampy]

This one is for Steve since he lives in "horse country". But I guess the horses in his area are of the "playboy" type, jet set, racing etc. LOL

The horse owners from around here would faint dead away if you took one of their animals onto a backwoods trail.

Now a nice slick race track is a different matter.

How about a shot of a Marsh Tacky? Folks on the forum might be interested in the history of this breed.

Steve: That came out very well

We sometimes refer to Art-History brushes as "riding wild horses".
Seems fitting.

AHB, mixture of chalk and oil types;
Lighting effects for stroke depth;
Blending for overall effect.

Here's my try with a little bit of AHB and endless filters and a lighting effect and then I got sidetracked with the frame and matting.

First time trying to smudge. Not good but trying to learn.

You folks are Goooood!

Steve, finding a true Marsh Tacky these days is next to impossible. There are a number of descendents, but they have been crossed with quarter horses and are bigger than the real thing. :-(

Thanks Ro. I have an even more unkind bunch of words for AHB. I just can't make it work for me.

But I got there in the end
