The colours in this are just beautiful, and the ethereal horse is wonderfully drawn. The Chinese Lanterns and the Stripes stencils with the grunge paste work particularly well too. You definitely do not need to worry that you didn't go to art college as you have such natural talent that may have been spoiled by being too schooled, and this could be hung with pride in any art gallery. xPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889103826921393113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-40608255100104247622014-05-15T08:07:28.750+01:002014-05-15T08:07:28.750+01:00Stunning and mystical springs to mind, love this, ...Stunning and mystical springs to mind, love this, it does feel good to just go with the flow. <br /><br />I used to love drawing horses when I was younger so I'm very much looking forward to seeing the new stamps xLisapmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695918651363501014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-53605926103798185562014-05-15T00:05:55.247+01:002014-05-15T00:05:55.247+01:00Amazing piece of artwork.

I know what you mean about half way through nearly giving up! I put some glitter paste on mine and hated it. Didn't know what to do so I just painted over it, and it looked brill! I don't think you need a background in art education. Just a love of art!
