Louis,


I love these comparisons.  Both are quite good though I have a weakness for the white horse.


Good stuff!

Yes Louis, both of these are extremely nice,but because of the dark brown shadow on the back of the brown horse, there is a much greater feel of 3D to it.  maybe it's just in the photo.

I too like comparison paintings, there are so many options to chose from.

Both characterizations are very beautiful. My favorit is also the brown-wise horse.
This group is also in 30mm engraved by Werner Otto, and the shape is at Mr. Staßberger.

 Thanks for kind words!
 
I especially like painting horses, which I find the most appealing (http://sv.bab.la/lexikon/engelsk-svensk/appealing) creature Nature has produced!
 
Good idea to bring up a discussion on the painted signs on the horse!
