 "A Hard Day's Knight" ??? 9.5 x 8 in. 24 x 20.5 cm. |
| I am reasonably satisfied with this. I accomplished what I intended. Painting large pieces of metal was part of the challenge. Not getting tempted to paint every detail was another - that was hard with the horse. And painting wet-in-wet washes over a largely completed part of the image was the most important technique I tried. The focus of this painting was to be the armor, especially the face-plate on the horse, and I believe I was able to keep the focus there. So ... experiment done. Now onto some calves, flowers .... ???? Thank you for dropping by! Your comments are always welcome. |

Fabulous painting! We love it ♥
ReplyDelete"A hard Day's Knight" is finished beautifully, Kathryn!! I love the dark background! and Scruffy has such a gentle face...definitely a future painting! As far as Maggie's possessiveness ... since we adopted these dogs, we don't know their "history"... My dog was VERY possessive of me when I first got her and she finally realized that I wasn't going to send her back to the shelter and now she's docile and SO sweet! ( At first, she nipped my two friends when they got too close to me!!!)
ReplyDeleteI think this is really wonderful! The perspective in particular - the way the rider is appearing from the gloom... Awesome!! :0)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! How did you do that? We were thinking it would be soo hard!! But you mastered it!
ReplyDeleteWe love it!

ReplyDeleteFabulous, Kathryn! The focus on the face plate of the horse is really great!
ReplyDeleteFabulous how you kept the knight in the background making the horse the true star . All those little nails on the armor ....such a great work Kathryn ! And the title is humorous and spot on ! xx
ReplyDeleteComme sorti des ténèbres du passé. J'adore ! L'armure du cheval est un must!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great subject! I really like how you have painted him charging toward the viewer and horse and rider dissolving into the background! So dynamic!
ReplyDeleteSo very well done! Great perspective and focal point.
