  Thanks for stopping by. My granddaughter loves horses. She started riding last year. I haven’t drawn a lot of horses, my grandpa used to draw them for me when I was little. That memory keeps coming to mind as I do this for our eldest grandchild.

The sketch is looking excellent so far, I particularly like the horses’ head, I hope your granddaughter enjoys it as much as I hope you enjoy painting it.

  I hope she enjoys it as well. I also hope she isn’t peeking over her mom’s (or dad’s) shoulder reading any of this.

Stunning drawing! The horse looks just perfect, very solid and 3-dimensional and also sweet and friendly. Seems like you must know horses well. I also appreciate that your working lines are visible.

  Thank you! My grandpa used to draw horse for me when I was a little girl. I wish I had some of the sketches he made. I have several friends who are “horse people” but the biggest critic will be this little one. Makes Grandma a little nervous. lol.

  Been exploring your blog, seems to me you are painting with words over there. Your creativity is growing in new areas. I just seriously returned to drawn art, kind of had a sputtering start. Perhaps it is calling for your return as well.
