Wild Horse Trail, WDE Challenge


I experimented with a painting knife and used it exclusively not a single brushstroke, since this is my first try at this, I am happy with the result.
I did this painting for the Wet canvas website, it is a weekly event where the member have a choice, to paint from about 16 photos, and finish the art work in 2 hours, it's great fun.
