Caine, I have to say that I really admire your art. I am a failure of an artist, I never got the knack of abstracting, of potraying the spirit of the thing and not only the look of it. I always got tangled up in unnecessary details and attempts at completely irrelevant realism.
What you got here is the life of a horse, its breath, its vitality, its essence -- without the actual horse itself. Something that only a true artist can achieve. Had I have a hat, I would tip it to you.
Marcus, Cuttlefish, and Saad, thank you so much! The inner part of this horse was done with various fabric sprays, but using a brush instead. A bit scary, because that stuff bleeds like crazy, not easy to control at all. Fun though. :D

:) Aaaaand, just in time, Joann coupons showed up, so I can get my preferred batting in king size for $30.00, rather than $60.00.

Looks good, Caine. I’m enjoying watching the process.
Caine says
Thanks, Jim! Well, back to work.

Oh Charly, thank you so very much. Thank you.
Marcus Ranum says

Cuttlefish says
That is fucking gorgeous, and I am unspeakably envious of your talent.
But mostly, that is fucking gorgeous.
Saad says
It looks fantastic. I love the vibrant color.
