Artist's Comments

DIS foundation Mare"Amelatu" (means Gatekeeper in Sumerian)

Desert bred, Amelatu is the other mare that we brought along with us to the Valley and an Egyptian Arabian. Strong and enduring, calm and unfazeable she makes for a good endurance mount and a good counter to more excitable stallions. Not as fast as Mirage.

Oil on canvasboard, 35.5x25.5cm, 2006

moving...always moving, ceaseless wanderings across the dunes...sand and air...circling...its heart...its soul...

challenge 96: In the storm


second piece made for :iconarab-horses: s contest. The first one was...err nice enough I suppose, but I've never really taken to it.
I know what captures me most about the arab - it's the only horse I know that look forlorn with a rider and always in harmony with its environment when free.

no problem, and it is kinda weird how much you improve in such a short time.
