Worked on this design over the past weekend. This winged horse design represents a rising of hope and how the light of the sun can chase away the dark and renew that hope within us. I am not sure if it is finished but wanted to post it anyway.  What are your thoughts?

The Work of Art?

The chaos of creative expression and the creation of art is limitless. I have been asked how long it takes to create certain pieces of art and that is often hard to answer.

The final center design above combining the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos logos took many hours from idea to completion.  There were many preliminary drawings of ideas, further sketches on different papers and color studies using pastels and colored pencils. 

Art does not just happen but the journey from vision to completion is fraught with twists and turns,  stops and starts. I would not have it any other way, that is where the joy resides.

Thanks for stopping by!   ~M

Preliminary drawing ideas on tracing paper.

With the Super Bowl almost upon us I still am not sure who to root for.  Growing up in Idaho I was raised a Broncos fan but now living in Washington the Seahawks are … well I think you understand my dilemma.

So I came up with the idea to combine the two logos into one.  So is this a “BroncHawk”  or “Seaonco” ?  The final drawing was completed using pastels on 12×9 inch gray pastel paper.  The first image is the untouched original,  the second has a faded black border added and the third is the preliminary drawing ideas.

Enjoy and feel free to share the images! ~M

12 Months of Horses!

Hoping to work some more on this drawing today as it is a good day to stay inside with the rainy and gray weather here in the Pacific Northwest.  What is on your agenda today?
I am committing myself to completing a new piece of horse art per month during 2014 and at the end put it together into a collage, calendar, slide show and who knows what else!  Thinking maybe that the horse and design for each month will have a theme that somehow goes along with the month, by using colors, motion or other elements in the design.  If you have any suggestions or ideas for future months please let me know.  I already have some ideas on why this one is black with the bright yellow mane and tail.  Stay tuned and I will explain once it is completed!
Visit the Art Gallery to view my other horse designs and other pieces of art. And thanks for stopping by as always! ~M
