"Forest Unicorn" 12x12 oil on canvas by Kerry Nelson

Mysterious and beautiful, a wily unicorn eludes discovery as he gracefully disappears into the forest cover. This oil on canvas was painted in a slightly more impressionistic manner from my usual as a 'relaxation and loosen-upper' after the really tightly detailed work I have been doing on the centaur paintings. This was a thoroughly enjoyable little painting that now needs a new home...I'm out of room here, ha! It is currently listed for sale on ebay and you can view the listing for more detail images or purchase the painting by clicking this link: Purchase Link: Purchase Unicorn Painting Link

WIP - New equine fantasy art by Kerry Nelson

"Braiding Mother's Hair" 16x20 oil on panel.  Work in Progress.

They're mostly horse!  Ha!  Here's a bit of background info from my blog:
"It is not my intention to mimic any one culture, rather, to create a plausible sub-culture that might exist if centaurs were real and living among human cultures of the ancient times.
This family is obviously well off with a palacial estate and many luxuries. Here, the mother is having her eldest daughter braid her mane and help her with her dressing for a night out with her husband when he returns home. The youngest daughter entertains them with chatter and play. She and her pets find the occassion very exciting and festive and as a result is always getting underfoot."



This painting is nearly finished, just awaiting a little more detailing.   Please visit my blog to see the complete session-by-session posting of this work from concept and drawing to the present stage of work with many detail close-up photos that can be enlarged by clicking on the photos.   See it here:

"Break Away" ORIGINAL 5" x 7" OIL PAINTING on birch panel.

With a shrill, echoing scream of defiance at his human captor, Pegasus springs powerfully into the sky from the high mountain cliff! With strong wingbeats, he is soon just a glittering speck of white against a foggy mountain cloudscape!

Gypsy moon

I'm always surprised at how seldom I remember to post work to this blog. I post regularly (five images, not always art ones, once a week) to my personal blog, so I often forget that there are other places for me to post.

The nice Gypsy cob/vanner image that Heather posted (previous post to this) reminded me I have more of these myself. Here is one featuring a yearling that I photographed at a local breeder's place. These are real "artist" horses with their big hair, impressive presence, and calm demeanor. This is a photo based artwork, but as the tagline on my business card says, "reality is only a starting point".
