A Scottish water spirit in the form of a horse that delights in drowning its riders. Painted in watercolours, it's supposed to look like its forming out of a river or something. The water spray was done by flicking the brush at the paper.

I'm writin a story on the kelpie and your paintings could come very handy. Like that form of the kelpie. Cant wait to see if you do anymore on the kelpie's other forms.

:-) Alex Pass replies: "Kelpie's other forms? I didn't know it had any. What are they?"

This is an amazing watercolor. I love how perfect the shading is. How long did this take you? And did you do a lot of dry blending (or whatever it's called) to make it come out so well?

:-) Alex Pass replies: "It's been a while so I can't remember how long this took but I would guess maybe an hour. I don't use watercolours very often and don't know what dry blending is so I guess I didn't do any 10 Thanks very much. "

Love the colors! What an incredible job. I'd be tempted to jump on this beauty myself -- in spite of the danger of drowning! 2 And I agree with previous comments -- the splashes are lovely!

:-) Alex Pass replies: "Thanks very much. I was particularly pleased with the splashes myself."
