I started this one months ago, wasn't happy with it so put it to one side. Took a look at it again yesterday and reckoned that if I put a few finishing touches to it it might just be OK. Still not 100% sure, but I thought I'd post it anyway. No Sanctuary ![]() It's an A4 by the way. Maria x |

How spooky is that, eh! It took me a while to spot the unicorn, though he lightens the pic quite a bit once you see him there. I'd see this being rather popular with the 'goth' crowd, as the colours are dark and rich. A very stirking picture thought, well done! x Col! |

Hi M - well isn't that odd - you're not 100% sure about it - and I think it's my favourite of all the fantasy ones.... I love the unicorn - he's just gorgeous - specially with his curly white mane.. The haunting colours and lighting, with the innocent little lad quietly lapping from the water - fantastic Is he an ebay-er??? love x

He just went on there a few moments ago, Terry. We'll see how he fares! Actually, I like it more now than when I first started it......added a few odds and ends which just made it feel more 'finished'. Sometimes it helps to put things to one side for a while and then go back to them with fresh eyes...a good tip to remember really.Right.....I feel the urge to wax again, but first I must do some of the 'H' word....it will make me feel less guilty than if I just waxed all afternoon!

Well....looks like I was in a minority of one. Many thanks for the encouragement. Without it I would have probably put this away, but instead I listed it on Ebay and it's now about to head off to someone in the USA! Just goes to show that sometimes it pays to get others' opinions before dismissing a painting!Thanks guys! Maria x |
