An encounter with a horse one snowy afternoon last year. Acrylic palette knife work.
Examples of some textures achieved: frosty foliage, drifting snow and tracks.
The horse caused some difficulty. The coat looked too bulky and obscuring the natural shape. It was improved by the addition of a strap which seemed to allow the neck to sit within the coat and a slight levelling of the upper back reducing some of the bulk of the coat.
The other modification was to add shadow to the underside of the disused railway bridge. This gave clearer definition and depth.
