Artist's Comments

This is an oil.
The horse is a stallion in Egypt named Emad El Din, I just put him in a different age, about a thousand years ago.
He is a horse that took my breath away with his presence. He is like a king, and knows it.
I hope I did him justice.
Thanks to his owners Erminio Granata who showed him to me on several occasions so I could "take him in " before I painted him.

Beautiful painting. I love these sort of scenes. They're very exotic to me,....there's just something about the Arab world I like. And the horse,.... you did a great job on him. His coat shines very nicely. The only thing that seems a bit off is the length of the man's legs. They seem too short in comparison to the size of his head. Other than that, wonderful job. Your work certainly reminds me of the old paintings depicting similar scenes (I WISH I could remember the titles and artists to give you an example). You used that certain style, the colors,.... Great job. :thumbsup:

Wow, I thought this was a diginatl painting at first, but it;s not. How can you use oils so well? Must've taken ages to do this. Just look at all the details! OO
