This painting has been in my head for about 20+ years. I painted this a few years ago, I have changed it several times...the Arabian horse is my beloved muse Ibn. (1979-2008)

This is very dramatic with great colors, texture and you could not improve on the subject matter given those gorgeous dogs who look like Italian Greyhouonds, so proud, regal and elegant. You must love animals to capture this beautiful white horse that reminds me of the mythological Pegsus given you good fortune to have such a stunning Muse. Animals make such great subjects for artists and you have an exceptional eye to capture their beauty and character. This is such an elegant piece and although you said it is not quite what you intended, it stands alone as a magnificent Acrylic Painting. We are both fortunate to have animals muses. I have two dogs that inspire my photography, Mikey, my English Setter and his annoying, but beloved companion, Molly, a rare breed of red and white Irish Setter. One of Molly's best friends is an Italian Greyhound. What breed are these dogs. Your work is outstanding!!
Artist Reply: Thank You so much for your comment, it means a great deal... the dogs are a Desert breed named Saluki.
This scene looks like it was born of Arthurian legends Delia!! There is an intense feeling about it, which feels to me as if something is coming soon!! Excellent work, very moving, and extremely beautiful!! Exquisite work!!! ~S
