"The Horse" - This painting represents the Melancholic-Sanguine type; the most social of the Melancholics, this person is diplomatic, thoughtful, and friendly.
 
Adding touches of that Sanguine Yellow to the warm cerulean Blue of the Melancholy was a really fun challenge with this painting, since I didn't want any green!
 
The plants in the painting derive meaning from the Victorian Language of Flowers:
Ferns - Thoughts, Dreams, Magic
Freesia - Thoughtfulness
Laburnum - Pensive Beauty
Houseleek - Vivacity
Delphinium - Fun

What's one of the biggest strengths of the Melancholic-Sanguine? In the model's own words:
” I feel like my biggest strength is compassion, and I see the world as living art. Everything is just so beautiful to me. I love nature, especially the forest. I feel like I’m supposed to be living in another century, maybe the old Scottish highlands or with the Vikings.”
