According to the myths, the majority of the centaurs were a roudy, lustful, highly destructive lot that finally got themselves beaten in a vicious battle and driven from human society after making themselves unwelcome at a wedding by abducting the new bride. Those were the bad boys that ruined it all for the centaurs in general, but, there were a very few that were friends to mankind, honerable, highly skilled in many disciplines such as hunting and music, and, were very wise and much loved! I like to think my centaurs are decended from those noble and heroic few. In this painting, a young couple of centaurs touch tenderly in a sweet moment together. My very first OSWOA artwork also happened to be my very first centaur painting, so, it seemed only right to me that on the OSWOA first anniversary that I should paint another centaur scene!
