Latest horse portrait completed

it's been a long time in the 'drawing', as i have been leading a very disrupted life recently - as you may partly be able to glean from previous diverse entries into my blog. this horse head study is finally done, and i'm rather please with how she turned out, despite struggling with the mane, as it was such a similar colour to her coat.... you can see the original photo this was drawn from as well as some detailed views for those that want to get down and dirty, as it were.

otherwise, today has been spent trying to drum up some more custom. surprisingly, because i'm a big loudmouth, pet owners around here still don't seem to realise i exist, so i'm on an awareness-raising campaign: like i'm doing charity work, except the worthy cause is me! ho hum - a starving artist's life for me!

Wonderful graphite rendering. I love horses and you have done a wonderful job of capturing the personality and shape of this one. Sir Alfred Munnings would have loved him. Nicely done.

Beautiful portrait Rebecca! You have captured the soft velvet texture of the muzzle perfectly.
