This is the final image that I painted. It's really simple, but I do quite like it. It doesn't really look like something that I would paint, but I don't think that matters too much. I really enjoyed completely stripping it back and having it as very basic shapes so you know what you're looking at straight away without having to decipher it. For me, I get the vibe from the song, because it's quite soothing and isn't a harsh sounding song on the ears, like it's quite soft. So I think the blue reflects that as well as the big open space. I don't think it would have been appropriate for the image to be full of things to look at.
I think that the horses could have been painted a little bit better, but at least you can still tell that they are horses which I suppose is the most important thing. It was a bit weird for me to create some work which isn't satirical, but I don't feel like that is really an issue, I don't want people to just expect that from my work, I want to be able to do both.
