The background is a digital picture of a small canvas. I has some paint left over from something else and instead of tossing it in the trash I just smeared and wiped it all over this reall BAD painting of a horse I was working on. I liked the colors, so I loaded the digital pic into Painter 8 and added the white silhouettes digitally. Mixed media is not something I always think to do, but this was fun and quick. Might just have to do it again when I have some extra paint. *nod* Thanks for looking. =)
