Horses



Since I was little I have had a love for artsy things, especially drawing.  I've also always had a special fondness for changing the furniture around...but we'll save that for another day.  While I don't really have a specific style or thing that I like to draw, I rarely venture into anything that is too realistic since that just seems to be a lesson in frustration.  I like details though and lately I have really enjoyed making black and white designs that look a bit like mehndi, the henna tattooing that is often done on the hands.

When I was younger and I would visit with my grandma we would draw horses.  Ohhh how I loved that.  Whenever I draw horses I always think about her.  She loved to draw and she loved horses as much as I did.  I was a horse kind of girl.  How can a person not be?  They are such beautiful animals. 

I remember begging and begging my parents for a horse to call my very own.  Sadly, my pleas went unanswered.  Finally recovering from my disappointment, I have decided to enjoy sketching horses instead.  Here are a few that I did not too long ago.
