I painted this quickly using some remining oil colours on my colour board, while finishing another painting.

It's hard to give names for this kind of pictures with many meanings. I would like to hear what kind of interpretations this brings to you.

Oil paints on plywood.

Before I saw the pic I noticed your "taistelu.jpg" title. That influenced me, but Still.. Thinkin' of it more as a passionate dance than just a struggle. Uh eh, "struggle of love" Hehehheh. *smirk*

Good do not always come from light, that's the meaning I see in this picture.

This picture... I don't know what I mean about it. It looks like a fight for life. I like that colours in the background, and the unicorns... Well, the picture tells me a long story. A story that never end.

whe i looked at the black unicorn, for some reason i thought 'velvet panther' no clue, so dont ask. REALLY awesome.

I thought the black unicorn looked a little like a panther too, as apposed to white unicorns who are suposed to have a lion-like cast to them. Also, I thought that the white unicorn looked like that because he was about to die, the idea that it was, how was it put, Satan in an angel's form seems to fit though. Anyway, cool drawing. Nice colors and an interesting puzzle too.

Slightly different take. The red and gold trailing up toward the top of the painting... almost puts you in mind of heaven. Of the next world. The white unicorn appears emaciated, in pain perhaps like she or he has a cancer eating at her and has been suffering. From that angle, the black unicorn seems almost an angel of mercy, putting the white out of it's misery. I think at one point they were lovers. (hopeless romantic)

It looks like the black unicorn is sucking the life out of the light unicorn

the white unicorn looks starved. it looks like the white is almost letting the black kill him, and if u look closer it almost looks like the black is crying. 8
or is could be friends willing to make a sacrafice for the greater good, to like end the war between good and evil or something.2
and of course they could be enemys that both die in the end, the black stabs the white, the white send what looks like a pulse of energey, of a lightning bolt to kill the black.14
luve the pic by the way!1 2 3 7 11 12 13 18

i love this. to me it looks like the ligh represents to soul of the white unicorn leavng it’s withered carcess. also as the black unicorn drives its horn into the white unicorn th turns into nothing but a lifeless skeleton. so much emotion! how do yu do it?!
