Ah, Mustang

Great valiant horse with wild unfettered heart
Bow not to man.
You're meant to be a part of that great land,
That desert where you roam.
You're master there, and there should be your home.
You toss your mighty head, your nostrils flare,
You fling your ringing challenge through the air.
A fiery thing of beauty and of strength,
You claim your ground distinctly, then at length
You vanish.
You are gone with such an ease
As smoke upon the rising desert breeze.
Across the high, wild desert land you race
With nothing but an eagle keeping pace.
Rush out of sight, you king of all you see.
Far better gone, than live and not be free.

Poem by Alta Smith


This poem inspired me to make this picture and I like how it turned out.

Normal is driving through traffic to get to work in a car that you are still paying for to pay for the car and the house you live in that you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it :D

Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot.

i do not understand how you soften the colors on these horses, but it's beautiful.

Hmm... how I do it! I usually put a layer on top of the image, like white clouds of something. Then I Gaussian blur the clouds a lot so they look like blurry fuzz. After that it is playing with opacity ect.

The second way to do it (which is easier) is to duplicate your finished picture so you have two layers of it. Then go to saturation/colours in your program. Either make it black and white, or a really soft colour. Then play with the opacity of the layer you changed.

*I hope that makes a little bit of sense! :/
