"Sun
Horse, Moon Horse" is a colorful and detailed celtic design of two
winged horses - one for the Sun, one for the Moon. Knotwork designs
surround and include them, with other intricate borders appearing
on their bodies.
Above
and below are wide borders with a design of interlaced dogs separated
by the faces of the Sun (above) and Moon (below). The Moon shows
her four phases across the border.
"Sun
Horse, Moon Horse" is also the name of a powerful, short book by
Rosemary Sutcliff; the book is about the nature of art and the nature
of leadership, and the creation of the Great Chalk Horse of Uffington.
This painting has no connection with that book other than its title.
The
print is a limited run reproduction of my digital painting. Its
resolution is over 300 DPI at a full size of 30 by 20 inches.
