The first thing I remember drawing when I was about five or six years old was a horse. I wanted to own a horse from the time I was just a little boy. I rode horses a lot during my youth, but was never able to own one. I raised other animals but never a horse. My favorite horses are quarter horses, thoroughbreds, and Arabians. I love the build, and quickness of a quarter horse. I love the speed of a thoroughbred. I love the dished head and large eyes of an arabian. I love their stamina.
I found a picture on the internet of this black horse. It is supposed to be a quarter horse, but it has the head of a thoroughbred. I love it's form as it gallops through an open field of wildflowers. I painted it in colored pencil. The painting is about 12"x15". I did the painting on 17.5" x 23" high rag content white paper so the large white field around the painting can be part of the matting when it is framed. I am excited to get prints made. I haven't decided on a sales price for the original yet, but probably around $250 or so.
11"x14" prints will likely be $45.
