Blackground Paintings 5: Two Birds and a Horse

Image
  Blackground Paintings 5 Two Birds and a Horse Here are a few more blackground paintings that feature creatures.     Egret Rising is acrylic on canvasboard.  There's an arc of lunar phases above, and an arc of egret glyphs in gold in various postures.         Talking Crow , acrylic on canvasboard, is unnatuaralistically white.  He speaks in Lenni Lenape (or Delaware Indian)  petroglyphs as found engraved on rocks in the Chesapeake/Susquehanna region.  I have added color here.  I have used Lenape petrogyphs in many paintings,       Equus , also acrylic on canvasboard, is painted in what I call Greco-Deco style, a hybrid of classical Greek style and the Art Deco style of the 1920-30s.  Again here, as in Talking Crow, I did not feel constrained in color.
