Artist's Comments

This was a practice piece done in Watercolour and Gouache. I intended to do a much larger painting in Acrylic. However someone said I had made the Knight look like a girl and the horses like donkeys:giggle:
I have scanned it after discovering it languishing under a pile marked 'duds'. Tweaked the colours in Photoshop and posted it, warts and all.

Fond regards to friends old and new :wave:

True, it is a little rough around the edges but it makes it look all the more like a Medieval tapestry. Things were always slightly skewed in that stylized form. I love it, warts and all, as you said.

There is a fine, misty line between fantasy and reality. Very few can see it and even fewer can dance upon it.

masterpiece...

Definitely not a dud. This is fantastic, Pat. It very much resembles the art that I love so much like Waterhouse and the like. Very nice. I can see a story here and could sit for hours trying to figure it out and imagine myself there. :clap:

I could (and would) see this happily woven into a tapestry. Being a person who cannot draw a straight line with a ruler, I think it's magnificent. :)

Maybe you changed it, but the horses look like horses and the prince looks like a man O .o those people are lame.

:iconalegion:
this is a winner... the horses look like horses and the knight looks like a male... or a manly woman. :D

Best dud Ive ever seen. it really looks like it could be an illustration in a book and I agree it would look awesome woven as a tapestry. There is more to art than every spec acurate! Thats the style of thats era!
