Black Magic - Friesian stallion Sold

" Black Magic"
I'm having sooo much fun with acrylics at the moment, just had to try another using a black horse. I love drawing black dogs, cows etc so thought why not a horse.
Black magic is 24" x 24" on 1" gallery wrapped canvas.
I would like to hear your comments on my news medium that I'm using in a realistic style. Cant wait to start another.
thanks for looking Catherin

A little brag

Just a little brag from me. A while ago I was asked if I would like to submit an editorial along with images of my artwork for consideration for inclusion in the US magazine, Horses in Art.

Firstly I thought oh they'll never include me in there, but hey what the heck I'll submit and see what happens. I already subscribe to this magazine so if I get my work in there along with some of the top equine artists in the world that would be fantastic.

My copy arrived and whoo hoo not only was I in the magazine but I had a whole page to myself. Now this has really made not only my week but month as well. Sure doing a happy dance over this neck of the world.
