I never repeat the exercise with the same work or artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI saw an extraordinary exhibit of Chinese art and textiles in the 1990's, and was smitten by a truly gorgeous ink painting on paper by Xu Beihong called Galloping Horse (Battle of Changsha) that was quite large, ca 51\" x 29\". My then-father-in-law bought me a small textile reproduction of the painting which I treasured. After thinking about it for years, I made my own sketch, and then this painted sketch, working in thinned acrylic, on a large wood panel.  I aimed to keep moving while I worked, not stopping to fuss too much. My goal was not to replicate (the original is truly exquisite) but to capture some of the moving intensity that almost translates to sound when viewing. I love my version too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: SHIPPING costs to be determined at time of sale.
