Naive Horse Ride

Hi there!

Have you ever heard about naive art?
Naive art is often characterized by childlike lines - simple, easy on the eyes and dream like appearance.
In the past, the artists who have created this kind of art, had no art degree nor training. The images has no perspective, light/shadow or subtle hues and colors. The "real" artists, museums and galleries had no respect for those paintings, no artistic value at all.
In the 20th century, this technique eventually has gained the proper recognition, and today we have academies for naive art.
I find this art quite interesting, because it doesn't follow the rules that were defined by the classic painters, especially regarding perspective.

Other characteristics :
1. Simple story or subjects
2. Idealization of reality
3. Saturated colors
4. Texture, expressions, proportions and anatomical correctness - almost completely ignored.

If you want to see some examples of this art check out one of the online galleries, such as Gina.

I wanted to created some naive art of my own for a long time, something dreamy, simple and unreal.
This photo that I took has given me an inspiration


I imagined a horse, running free in a green field. Calm and relaxing ambiance. Dreamy and colorful background wrapping the subject. take a look :
