My Apologies to Thea Walstra, Eileen Martin, and Mark Peterson. They had commented on this Piece after I put it up on my page. I had to take it down after seeing that while doing the finishing touches to the highlights with an eraser, I had unintentionially whited out and area on the back of the main horse in the foreground. I could have sent the image that I corrected on my lunch break to artwanted by email, but I know it takes several weeks to get the image changed. Been there, done that. So I just took it down and reposted it with the correction. As I was saying before I did this drawing while in between oil paintings waiting for them to dry. I'll be posting some of the paintings within the next couple of weeks. Later

this is an excellent piece of artwork. But I'm wondering, do you do any art on a Graphic Tablet, such as a Wacom? Just curious, thanks

This truly is wonderful...I've never seen someone capture motion in black & white the way you have...and the one contrasting "dark horse" is ver poetic.

This caught my eye as a thumbnail and immediately sucked me in! I love the amazing amount of detail in this! I am especially entranced by how each horse seems to have its own personality and purpose. This must have taken many hours of dedicated labor, if not many days! I know that it would take me forever and a day to complete a piece such as this! Excellent job! I wish I had the money to spare to purchase this piece, but as a truly starving artist, I put what little I can toward art supplies and rarely have anything left over afterward. Thank you!
