Mood: Love ~c4ligo Jul 10, 2012  Hobbyist Traditional Artist
This painting looks really stunning and amazing. It has so much going on and looks really fluid.
I especially like the details on the saddleand the riders outstreched hand.

Can you tell me, is the rider longing for the moon, but this wild hunt is taking him away from it? Or is he shielding himself with his hand from the moon?


Some critisism (Please don't get this wrong, this is my subjective point of view and i really love the painting):

- I would have loved more detail on the horses head.
The rider is very detailed and, because of the silver outlines from the moon light, looks very sharp. Also the saddle features many sharp (and great looking!) details.
The head of the horse lies on the same plane like the rider and the saddle (I don't know how else to say this. These three things is simply what my attention focuses on when looking at the painting). Jet it looks much less detailed and sharp.
This makes it a bit confusing for me to look at. From my point of view it is cleary foreground, but it looks like background.

- I would have prefered the night landscape on the left side to be a bit more blue, so that it forms a stronger colour contrast to the red inferno on the right side.

You've done a really great job on this painting! I love it!

Thank you, finally some critisism, yes I guess you're right in some things, I had some problems painting the horse head using two light sources so it was hard to give it a lot of definition but anyway I'm trying to avoid bluring everything and make elements in a painting completely finished sometimes when you mix too much colours they turn pale and less expressive, well this one was my first try without bluring too much so I guess I have to improve it, it gave me some problems to have a good picture so it looks yellow, the idea was to get a composition between blue, pink and its variations, I used impasto for the saddle that's why it looks sharp, you can see the detail at my gallery, thanks for your comment and any critiscism in my other artworks is welcome.
