I've found some images of the type of thing i'm thinking about. This will give you an idea of the kind of thing I want.Something simple... but also I will be working alot more bigger than this... Alot more BOLD.

Don't call me Kitsch...

I think I have decided what I am going to do... Its to do with horses... don't laugh. But over the last year I have been fully devoted to my horse and his training even more so than this course. Believe it or not...

But even these last couple of months its the only thing I seem to think about and I need to get it out of my head and down on canvas.

So this is what I'm thinking. I want to try to portray an emotional piece.. or even series of the communication and emotion in training/understanding my horse.
First thing that came to mind was Mark Rothko... So I'll get some of his work for you. (It's emotional)
Maybe I can derive something from this.. I dont want it to what you're probably thinkin... a nice cute horsey head. Something more than that. Obviously.
ABSTRACT... portraying emotion and power of the horse. .... DIFFICULTY in communication.

I'll go and collect some cool pieces of work to get an idea of how it's going to look. So I can show you... and figure it out for myself.

horses




I love this

Another decision.. ??

Well ... looking over my work and laura's work. I've discovered I am sick of doing my usual 'bright' all over coloured paintings. I love her's coz they leave something to the imagination..
*Limited colour
*Limited line
*Discontinued line
*SPlASHES of colour rather than BLOCKS of colour

hmm i like this.
