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.

Yay! Not that there's anything wrong with leatherwork, but I've been looking forward to you doing some painting also ...

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!

Wow...this is amazing! From the knotwork in her dress-panels to the horses charging in the waves in the background, to the adoring look on her face...this is perfect!
