Comment from sandysartstudio
You have certainly captured some action here of horse and snake ready to strike. Having one tone gives great effect. Top story telling with dramatics sandy

Comment from rscsjessamine
I like the silhuette effect in this work it has a story telling quality to it and the drawing of the rearing horse is very well done.The background pattern also helps to create a sense of dramatic movement.Nice work.

Comment from Linda
A powerful composition. Great negative space. The details of the horse is full of action. The serpent gives this painting much mystery.

Nice creative work here with a good centre of interest. The detail is good and the framing has worked well in your favor.

Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed it.

Comment from Angelheart The First
This is very surprising Shawn
but it is a silhouette and I really like them.This presenta-
tion is beautiful,I love the black
and white..I also like the great perspective that you have in the background.I always 'have' liked framing,even though some have all kinds of things to say.In that case anyway ,it
is just a matter of personal taste.This is beautiful framing
and truly enhances the painting.
Great job Shawn!
Angelheart :)

Actually, it isn't really a "frame." It's part of the painting itself...LOL! That one hasn't hit yet :)) Thanks a million, Angel!!

Comment from Dazzleme
this is a wonderful silhouette you have presented here with the horse. Nicely done with the technique you have used. It impacts a lot! Love the border also. Very original type of artwork that impacts well!
