Lisa Ober, &quot;Clydesdale,&quot; pastel on Uart 600, 24 x 18 in. &quot;You would think that the majesty of the Clydesdale would be enough to want to paint him...and it is.  But look at the play of light an shadow.  Who could resist? And what about the metal on the bridle? To hone in on those compelling ingredients, I chose a much tighter crop and less traditional pose than is typical. In this piece I also played special attention to the continuation of the negative space through the leather and the design it created.  Squint and see if you see the design elements.&quot;
