An elf hides a unicorn from hunters, asking with hands for the unicorn to be silent. You may ask if the elf is male or female, but frankly, I don't know. That is for the eye of the beholder to decide. I am not persoanlly very happy with this peice, though others have been. I may redo it in the future.

Your line work is superb, and the coloring is very nicely done. The unicorn is excellent. Good job.

:-) Cathey Osborne replies: "It's funny -- you are complimenting one of my least favorite peices. I'm glad you like it."

hello! I just wanted to tell you all of you art is stunning!! I also wanted to ask you if you could help me find some good sites/books/etc on Epona.

:-) Cathey Osborne replies: "My first place to look is with a Google search. It never ceases to amaze me what will come up. Be sure to look at the images tab as well as the usual references."

I do like it, but if you're up for suggestions for a redo, I have a couple.
(1) Don't cut off the uni's nose. It looks like you ran out of paper.
(2) Show a hunter or 2 in the background, so the viewer knows what's happening without having to read about it.
Otherwise, this is a very nice piece. I like the details like the red eye and the uni's "necklace." I also like how the elf is mostly hidden behind the unicorn, and how the foliage surrounds them and gives the feeling of hiding.

:-) Cathey Osborne replies: "I have a couple opf like pictures planned, thought he entire feelign for this one was for the viewer to make up the story -- hence the lack of details. The planned peices are all coming from feedback like yours. I'll try to let you know when I have them posted."
