"He has galloped through young girl's dreams, added richness to grown women's lives, and served men in war and strife." Toni Robinson

I may have taken some liberties with the color in this horse's coat. But her normally black coat had been sun-bleached, and there was light from the setting sun, and I'm a color addict. So there you go. :)

    So glad you followed your instincts, the fusion of colours works so well with the movement and energy of the horse. I can feel his power and energy from here, well done!

    Those colours are absolutely beautiful! And the coat of a black horse is so shiny, it reflects all sorts of colours... It just takes someone with an eye for colour to see it :0)
    This is so amazing - I just LOVE it! I thought it was oil at first glance! :0)
