    first:
    your header is great! (I had seen it but now at the top of your blog looks fabulous)
    ok .... new illustration:
    Ehem ... I missed these works
    I like your "touch" of surrealism (the cat watching as if nothing happened) and some small aspect kitsch (sorry, I see it that way) in the roadside flowers. maybe tulips and yellow lilies. and I like the opposites, the drama which is what will happen to the rider, and the spring flowers, for example. the sun that illuminates the area under the horse's feet and the storm clouds on the horizon. Opposite, opposite, I love the opposites!
    and now I see a sort of "double horse" is an idea of motion?
    OK I do not know but I love your work!
    good weekend my friend! :))

      Thanks for your comment on the header - the scale of a work really does make a difference! For this illo I was trying to include elements of both lightness and tension in the piece. Some small event can change a life in an instant (if they land the wrong way). May you enjoy your weekend as well!

It was also viewed as sometimes being a mischievous trickster. At times the sun will strike its feathers at the right angle, and reveal an iridescent band of colour.

Illustration Friday Theme: Totem

Image
This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Totem. Totem is defined as a natural object or animal believed by a society to have spiritual significance, and adopted by it as an emblem. Crane mythology has a long history in many cultures (particularly in Asia) as symbolic of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures, and symbolizes good fortune and longevity. It has a fabled lifespan of a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. After WWII, the crane came to symbolize peace and the innocent victims of war.
