    Default Mythical horse

    Cliffs thread on his hunk of camphor laurel reminded me of the fun I had doing this sculpture,inspired by a pottery piece and cave drawings. Had intentions of following up with a series based on mythical creatures.......maybe someday

    Kerry, you have really hit a 6 with that piece. To me that's breathtaking. The essential "horse parts" are there, it couldn't be anything else. Some parts minimalized, some maximized. Cro-Magnon would be proud of you! Thanks for showing us the piece.

    I love it!! Not sure, though, if I want to put my hand anywhere near it's head without approaching it slowly By any chance has it been 'named' yet?

    Default Naming rights

    Only ever called it the Mythical Horse, but the naming right is up for grabs. We could vote for the most popular???? You can go first RR Kerry

    Question

    I "googled" Bucephalus (showing my ignorance Wendy) and read "Bucephalus, one of the most famous actual horses of antiquity". I wouldn't put my mythical horse in that category.........butttt
