Description Watercolor, colored pencil, inks and pastels painting, 11x17" hot-press Arches watercolor paper.

I wanted this painting to get across the feeling of standing on the beach in the winter doing what I tell my roommates is called "watching the horses come in from the sea" which is watching the whitecaps break. What I unintentionally ended up with is possibly the best representation of the goddess Epona I could have done.

The lovely model is from the incredible and prolific (if you don't know them - GO SEE NOW!!!) and the lovely stock photo pack found here [link]

The other lovely in the pic is supposed to be a Welsh Cob, if anyone is interested.

There weren't any rocks or walls in the background. I had to put the knots SOMEWHERE!! Heh, I'm always sticking knots on the dresses I draw. The new piece I'm working on has "stuff" on the dress but no knots. I am considering changing it entirely to get knots on there. Not sure, though.

NO KNOTS?!? That's insanity!!! I'm sure you'll find somewhere to put the knots...

This is simply fantastic! I love every bit about it, from the white horses in the breakers to the elegant blue knotwork panels in her dress.

Heh. So have I
Actually, I've been working on this one for a while, but what with moving and prepping for FenCon last month I really had no chance to work on it. Glad it's done, now I can start some other ones I've been itching to do!
