Medium: Acrylic Dimensions: 12 x 16 Date: February 2003
I painted this for a friend's birthday and gave her the original. It
is a new style that I am exploring, an opaque on top of a transparent
background and I've gotten a lot of good feedback about it. It was inspired
by Shano's art. I really lost track of time while painting this - I
would think 5 minutes went by when a few hours actually had! I've always
loved unicorns. I realized writing and illustration were my calling
when I worked on a book when I was 9 about a unicorn who was also a
pegasus and had trouble getting accepted since he was a hybrid. There
are several layers of gloss and uv-resistant, non-yellowing glossy varnish
over the finished piece.
