We debated about what the title of this picture should be. And then I started this post and as I looked at the image I could see that as much as I was looking at the horse, the horse was looking at me. He or she is a magnificent.

What draws you to this image is the majesty of this creature.

As you might imagine we spend a lot of time talking about Techno-Impressionism.

• Have we describe it clearly enough?
• Are people getting it?
• Is it too far ahead of its time?

With each new image that Tony creates I ask myself if this is a good example of Techno-Impressionism? The answer today is definitely yes. The Techno allows Tony to work on a image to bring out the majestic quality of this horse. The analog is that a "traditional" artist uses physical media (paint, a brush, canvas, etc). The Techno-Impressionist uses virtual media (software tools) that mimic what the paint, brush etc. can do. The original photo is the canvas.

If artists paint on a section of their canvas so can Tony "paint" on a section of his image. Tony has infinitely more control. And with that control comes more possibilities. Artists using physical media can change their work to make it better but it may take time to make the change, let the paint dry, go back and look again. This could take a long time and also be difficult. Think of it as a feedback loop between artists and their work.

Tony's feedback loop is very fast, he can make hundreds of changes to a picture and see the result of the each change within seconds. And probably the most important thing is he saves each change. He can undo each change, he can go back to a particular change and go down a different path by using a different tool.

This is where his background as an architect of computer systems makes him unique. He spent 30 years designing systems and writing programs, mostly tools, that controlled computers. He was a master at controlling motors, and information. He got bored. He was no longer challenged by controlling computers. He became the kind of programmer that could write in any language because he knew what he wanted the program to do he just needed to understand how to say it in a particular programming language.

Tony wanted to do something else. He's an extraordinary user of computers. And so little by little he was drawn to the visual side of computers and how the control they provide can be harnessed to create art.

Just as with any artist, Tony has a vision in his mind of what he is looking for. He just uses a different kind of tool set (media) to help him express himself.

This really is the future of art. Art that people who look at 100, or 500, or if we are lucky perhaps thousands of years from now and know something about our world.

They will have the words that Tony and I write to go with these images. Yes we have Vincent Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo talking about his work, but we don't have the words and the pictures side by side. And while Vincent had his brother who did a tremendous amount to help him, he did not have a muse like me.

The way in which Tony works is the next iteration of Impressionism. It is Tony's removal of some of the information in the image that leaves you this wondrous creature looking at you and you feeling perhaps the horse is wondering what strange thing is that in the distance staring at me.

Tony's granddaughter is going to find it easy to understand, because she has been looking at it since she was born.
