Unicorn Icelandic is Finished


Pretty sure I have finished this painting. Some times I am not sure but with this one, I do not want to over paint and end up ruining it.

The Scanner was having a bit of a problem with the contrast between the snow and the darker back ground.

I have put two slightly different variations on the Blog and would love to hear from you, which you like best.

The one above's background is like the painting. The one below, the Unicorn is more like the painting.
Some of the print shops would most likely do better with the one below but I am not sure until I can order some samples.




Not sure if there are Unicorn's in the Icelandic Horse culture but if there isn't, there is one now. ;O)
I will be uploading this painting to my various online shops in the next couple of weeks.

Unicorn WIP 8

Adding some more depth to the snow, specially with the action around her legs. Adding more layers of color to all parts of her body.

Close up of her head and mane. Have been adding more shadows.

Unicorn WIP 7

Sorry about the photo quality.

Unicorn Icelandic Horse. . .

Some of my paintings seem to have a mind of it's own and this is one of them. So instead of fighting it, am going to go with the flow. ;O)

Did a lot more work on the snow, just starting with the spray of snow in front of her legs as she gallops through it.
Added some while acrylic ink on her body and applying it with a paint brush.

Never be afraid to mix mediums, as you can create something wonderful with them.

Unicorn WIP 6

Have been spending a lot of time adding shadow's to the Icelandic unicorn's horn and working a lot with her Mane. I wanted to add some depth, so I mixed some acrylic ink with a thickener, to get the look, I wanted.
Can see I just started working on the snow.

Close up of her horn and mane, so you can see some of the details a little better. The Sun placement was pretty high in the sky, so I have different angled shadows.


Is a little hard to see anything new here, working on the snow more, adding a little darker highlights for the snow she is turning up with her legs and hooves.
Thinking about adding some white ink on parts of her body too.

Background is showing lighter than it is in person due to the camera flash.

If you Believe

This quirky fun Abstract style Sci-Fi creation I have been working on for awhile, is finished, and Titled ~ If you Believe (any thing is possible)
Created with Bryce

(I have to keep these pieces fairly simple as my computer just doesn't have the power to let me cut loose. Maybe some day. ;O) )

I have it on REDBUBBLE and IMAGE KIND right now, but will be in my other online stores soon.

Wild clouds this morning

Some really interesting and Wild clouds this morning. The one above, the clouds, looking they were draining out of the sky.
REDBUBBLE

And these two, best seen large, so I plan on getting them up on Redbubble and Image Kind soon,
....the sheer amount of depth and turbulence is incredible in these photos.
