Detach

"Detach" is the word for ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY and I can think of no more fitting subject!
I hope you have a great weekend and a wonderful week! John

Perfect. I really like how you used a rocking horse; you made a scary character a lot less threatening.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E! I used to live near Sleepy Hollow, NY, so this story is near and dear to me. That's an excellent idea to put him on a rocking horse!

ha ha wonderful image, love the rocking horse, that's probably the reason that his head came off!

I used to associate rocking horse with Christmas (not sure why). But, this grinning headless rocking horseman takes off that sole spot. Love the effortless, soft colors.

Roberta said...

Perfect one John!
