Horse in a Halter

The horse is the part I didn't burn.

Pyrography on live-edge basswood · Jah Russ

I burned the background solid and left the horse as bare wood. Everything you see of him is what I didn't touch. The hard edge behind him isn't what a stable looks like. It's how the light was falling.

It's a quiet piece. He's haltered and standing still, but you can tell he's ready to go.
