Horsey

Perhaps this should not see the light of day but I enjoyed creating it. My grandchildren think its pretty cool. Any parent can relate to the game Horsey.The bones for the legs and feet have been on my system since the late 70’s. Like finding prehistoric body parts in the basement. Skull is more recent.

Caravaggio is looking and reminding me I am using his chiaroscuro technique. He was the innovator and a great representative of Baroque painting. The contrasts between light and dark give more emphasis to the three dimensional effect. The dark on the sides of the skulls function as a transition between them and the background.
