Otherwise, I can have it done elsewhere here, or make other arrangements with you. I'll be in touch by email. I'm glad you like them! julie,

Or as images so I can get them printed up onto canvas for my room. I live in Coolum Australia. Thanks. Julie Hourigan Hi I would love to purchase all 3 of these on canvas is that possible.

That's an interesting point, concerning the first image, about the texture inducing a sense of flatness, presumably by disrupting any (slight under this lighting) shading related to volume. At the same time, as you and Birgit note, the foreshortening clearly indicates the horse is facing away, making for a distorted shape. Perhaps that also reduces the reality and enhances the strangeness of the "sphere" it is moving to. McFawn,

Of course, I have a little bit of a problem as a viewer, being so tied into the subject. It's hard for me to look at a image of a horse without wonder "what breed? how's their conformation?" But I particularily like the first one...Like Birgit said, the horse seems to be ducking down to head into another sphere...and the hatching changes the dimensionality of the body--makes it seem like a flat plane--a different continent seen from above rather than a body oriented in space.

An horse headed out into the nothing. It brings to mind strange creatures living in the northwest such as Bigfoot. The different textures of snow against hair are sublime. The first picture is wild.
