Poised between reality and an abyss of sparkling stars, a copper-coated earthling gazes in amazement at the beckoning eternal shore. This surreal equine art painting explores a realm of pure fantasy where a rending in the fabric of space juxtaposes one universe with a serene earth landscape; creating a window on a cosmic scene of a huge ringed planet and moons and a gem-like gallaxy against a starry backdrop - all witnessed by one innocent and bewildered horse. Using luscious strokes of oil paint, this original small artwork takes on a jewel-like luminosity. Combining softer indistinct areas of brushwork with plenty of fine detail brings out the points of interest, and, irridescent and metallic pigments are sparingly used to enhance the surreal quality of this painting. "Wonderous Star Child" is an OSWOA™ (Original Small Work Of Art) oil painting, and, as with all OSWOA art, it is an original miniature work of art in the set 4x6 format that is also thin enough to fit into photo album sleeves .
