in wanting to understand your work better.. by digital painting do you mean that you drew this image yourself from scratch? or did you begin with a photo? Either way this is a Fantastic image! A most beautiful horse.. stunning, breath-taking! Excellent work:o)
Artist Reply: Les,
Sorry for not getting back to sooner. Yes,
This piece started out as a photograph. The image was taken outside. I then took it into Photoshop and removed the horse from his surroundings and put in a sort of studio background with texure. The last step, I used the smudge tool in photoshop and went over the entire horse and smoothed out the pixels and this was the result. Thanks for asking.

What a stunning photo of this Belgian cross. His liver chestnut color has so much variation. His spirit and expression are so well captured in this photo. What a beauty. I see thoroughbred in him to for he has the look of eagles.
