Good Morning Creative Friends..
I'd not planned on sharing this piece but as today is Remembrance Sunday
and the Centenary of the end of the First world War it seemed appropriate.
Inspired by the book Warhorse, I introduced those modern mechanical
workings from the stage show into my Horse study using glue and
gave the Horse a watercolour wash when the glue began to dry.
The journal background was created using structure paste, old brown paper
and seed beads I'd rescued from a broken vintage necklace.
With those raised glue areas dry and highlighted with metallic pen,
I tried to capture the silhouette of Soldiers along the horizon within the eye..
Painted and layered scraps of paper form the Head collar,
with brads and punched holes added for extra detail.
Brown paper, ribbon and twine give dimension to the Horse mane
graced with one single poppy OUR Symbol of remembrance.
Written words are just one paragraph taken from *For the Fallen*
written by Laurence Binyan and one I think most have heard before.
For the past, present and future
We WILL Remember them...
Wishing you all peace on this day of memorial.
