‘The Legend of the Great Horse’ trilogy on Pinterest

drawing of Pegasus (c) 2013 Lili KovacsIntroducing a new site on Pinterest which contains artwork from the eras traveled in The Legend of the Great Horse trilogy.

I’d especially like to share a drawing of Pegasus from the ‘Winged Horses’ board … a drawing by talented Lili Pavkovics.

Artistry runs in the Kovács family as well as practical insight: note the nicely balanced wings of Lili’s Pegasus stretch longer than many artists’ conception, modeling closer to a true animal of flight.

Check out some of the astonishing artistic creation the horse has inspired throughout civilization! New pictures will be added as the next phase of the trilogy takes wing …

"The Golden Spark" bookcoverThe image features a gold coin on display in a drawing room of Versailles, the famous royal château of the 17th-Century King Louis XIV of France.

The coin is a reimagined period currency minted to honor one of the equine characters of The Golden Spark … shown performing the Capriole, one of the Airs Above the Ground of the Haute École, or High School, of dressage.

Eye 4 Design specializes in quality custom graphic design, and produced a stunningly rich image while remaining faithful to the book’s historically accurate scenes. The design continues the central ‘coin’ theme of Book I: Eclipsed by Shadow while artistically reflecting changes in color, variety and complexity that attended the rebirth of European culture in the Renaissance.
