My first thanks goes to Sydney photographer Mr Tony Ryan for this self portrait that he kindly sent me for reference.
Tony and I have discussed the possibility of exhibiting together with his original images and my adaptations together.
Look out for more works to come. I think I will have to work on 12 images featuring Tony and also some of his female models as well incorporating the modest human form and animals.
What do you all think? You think this concept will work?

You do beautiful color. I am color blind, but my son described the colors in this picture to me. I have to draw all my animals in black and white. I love your work.Kathryn Lewis 25 May 2008
I love the way they have similar expressions. The guy has amazing eyes!! Beautifully painted. I dont however quite understand the section of his body from the lower back down. I thought at the start he was a centar? Other than that ....amazing work!Barbara Keith 14 May 2008

nice workAnonymous Guest 06 Apr 2008
lovely but the human has some anatomy issues....especially the shading on his lower body is odd looking...but the smaller forms of his muscles overall seem off....otherwise very beautiful work. The faces of both horse and man look especially good.Susan Rodio 06 Apr 2008
