The structure and position of the horse here is just magnificent - my favorite. I haven't read that story so I don't quite know everything going into the idea, but I like how you have captured the fantastically whimsical-yet-somehow repressed and darkened contradiction that I've come to like from this eariler era of art - much like the way the 20's flapper era was like. The poofy, watery waves are also pretty neat, they have a good sense of weight and substance.

Oh wow! Amazing! :fav!

damn what are the odds? I just put down a WInter's Tale to peruse some art, saw your DD, looked at your gallery and was like "how many white horses named 'Athansor' can there be out there?

beautiful stylistic choices and colours (especially in the water). This illustration really feels the way Helprin's diction reads, imho.

this is amazing

This is an amazing pic!

I'm sorry that i add so many times your art tro my faves, but i want this image to appear in my main page, so that's why

This is nothing short of beautiful. I've never read this book, but the heart and soul of the story just jumps out through your sensitively rendered painting. Congratulations too for successfully recreating Rackham's style - it really captures that childish wonder that so neglected in today's world. I love it. This is going straight on my wishlist. Thanks so much for sharing.

Mmmm...splendid combination--Rackham and Helprin!!!! I never would have thought of the two together, myself--and yet, now that you've done it--wouldn't an illustrated novel version of "Winter's Tale" be amazing? (Er--HUGE--but amazing!) I can just see Hardesty with his platter...and--well, the images are crowding so fast into my mind that I couldn't possibly write them all down here. Thanks for the image you painted--and the ones you've made me imagine, in my head!

I wish you didn't grow up so quickly. Oswald can see that ere long he will be too old for the kind of games we can all play, and he feels grown-upness creeping inordiously upon him. But enough of this.

this is beautiful....the sea looks amazing, so alive and real. I like the expression on the horse's face as well.
