Wise Grey Mare
I think this has to rate as the favorite piece of art I have yet created. First, I love horses, so it was always going to be up there among my favorites. But second, by some pure fluke I was able to capture the essence of this wise grey mare and it looks so realistic it's almost photographic.
Sorry, I'm proud of it, let me toot my own horn a moment here....
Now, admittedly, the background *is* a photograph, so perhaps that leads the eye to believe the whole thing is a photograph but getting the posing and lighting just right wasn't easy.
I got more positive comments and this piece of art was marked as a favorite at Renderosity more times I think than any other piece of work that I have done (other than a nude I did called The Snake Charmer, which I'm not posting here)
