Another Horse

[FrankEV]

I purchased this vector file from Etsy of a Horse by DuglyGraphics.   I had looked at this image for a long time and finally decided to cut it.  The image was a little different and is intended for laser cutting, making it a little challenging to cut with a scroll saw.  I’m kind of thinking the Image that was used on Etsy was a photo rendering as the final cut image does not quite look the same or, IMO, as nice as what was advertised. 

Here is the image that was shown on-line:

 

I sized the pattern to fit on an 11” x 15” backer.  I cut the image in 5/32” solid core ply that I painted Black.   The cut panel is affixed to a 1/4” BB Ply Backer left natural.  The panel was finished with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Spray Lacquer.

The panel is mounted in my usual  simple 1 3/4” wide Poplar Frame that was stained with Minwax Ebony and finished with two coats of Minwax Satin Wipe-On Poly.    

Now the Photo of my cut:

  

 

Critique is always welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for showing the orig picture.  The original has the feel of a wanted poster that you would hang up in a barn.

Your version has the feel of hanging in the business office that deals with expensive race horses. 

Oh and the colored patches are missing from the horse.  I am playing with words here.  Painted horse concept. Since you like to add color I thought I would mention it.

I did think of adding color, but just did not have the confidence it would work in this case.   

I wanted in the worse way to at least add color to the eye, but the eye area cutting was just not difinative enough.
