That Horse Has Wacked Out Poo Brains, Part 2

More horse drawings and paintings. I find horses to be fascinating, but daunting as subject matter. The blue horse painting was done a Pinot's Pallet on our 15th anniversary. My wife also made a matching painting. There was no good classes that week, so I came up the the idea of incorporating a heart shape, a copy of a master and a horse. My wife had no idea what she was painting at the time.

Rough sketch for painting below.

Franz Marc style copy of a master.
Acrylic. 
The above painting as it was being worked.
I believe this is my wife's copy. 

A robo-horse from Robotech. 

That Horse Has Wacked Out Poo Brains, Part 1

I like drawing horses. I have collection of Equine themed artwork in a variety of media.

Horse Skull, chalk and charcoal
The waterhorse was for my wife, Kitty, before I gave her the nickname "Kitty". In the front leg of the first image, you can see where I was trying to work in a "J" and an "E". I was flummoxed as to how I would get an "N" in there, so I abandoned that plan.

Waterhorse - Complete. Permanent Ink and Skin.
The tattoo artist was very good and there were only small changes. 
5 minute horse - completed, oil paint and post processing

Not Working Out

The first is my most recent, a landscape of downtown Buffalo.


Prior to the landscape, I attempted a sky-seascape with a castle in purples. I didn't care for it and painted over it.





Stary Night - Copy of a Master

Several years ago, I tried to copy Starry Night. It was fun, but the end results were lacking.

Letting the Dice Tell the Story

Welcome to the land of Misfit Toys!
I wasn't expecting my party to go all Oregon Trail on me. I had a brigand warship waiting for them, but now that won't happen on the plains.

So what's next? Time to roll some dice. 28, 53, 58, 52, and 10. I should play those numbers. If I win the lottery, the mystery will never be solved, because we'll be in Disney before the next session.

(I wonder, does anyone play D&D in Disney World?)

Anyway, I am sort of dying for Friday night, because these five rolls told me what will happen next. I think the players will be pleasantly surprised. I was.
