"DYNASTY ICON"

"Dynasty Icon", oil on linen, 26x22
 
 
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I've been working on a body of work for the past year, surrounding horses.  My latest,  titled, "Dynasty Icon",  is not real, as you can see, but an icon from the "Tang Dynasty" (China, 618 - 907). 
 
If you've been following my work you'll know that I have come full-circle, returning to a familiar subject which enables me to explore paint while painting something that I love.
 
Happily, my studio has come alive with the stable of canvases lining the room in their various stages of completion.  My little piece of heaven.
 
Thanks for following!
