This is the original panel I received for the next mural I'll be part of. I love the colors. What do you think I'll paint on here? What would you paint on it if it was yours?
I need to keep within 20% of the color and value of what's here but at the same time, create my very own painting over the top of this.
I had the panel here for two days, looking at it, studying it over, then I saw the image in there. The reason it came to me like it did, was because on our last photo shoot, I took a photo that exactly fits this image. I'll be changing colors on my horses and redesigning from afternoon to backlit sunset colors on the horses, but I hope it turns out as it nears completion.

ReplyDeletePretty colors isn't it? I should have given the main clue, it needs to be about horses.

I'm sure you will do a great job Donna! Mine isn't too far off from what yours looks like, maybe we are neighbours on the panel? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI finally made a decision on mine and sorry, I went with the 'other' one. It was a tough choice, but I *have* to start painting soon!
