Absent

Goodness, I haven't been on DA for quite a while. This is mostly just a preview of what I've been up to lately. I'm concentrating on my more or less stained-glass style at the moment. This is a somewhat playful impression of 668 Absent, probably to this date the best known Akhal-Teke to those not so familiar with the breed.

I used two or three old snapshots and a short clip of Absent (which have nothing to do with this pose but everything with his 'feel' and markings). Other than that, this picture is pretty much 'invented'.

50x60cm in acrylic paint on linen.
Of course, this is a photograph of the painting that doesn't do it justice. That is also why I feel hesitant about uploading it here because it might affect the comments.

I have more of these type paintings (both equine and other). If anyone's interested in seeing them be sure to let me know.
