Today's Project - Friesian

My friend Kristi and I saw some Friesians at the Expo in Lansing last weekend. They were stunning. I'd sure love to see one performing some upper level dressage maneuvers.

Anyway, I have soundness and dressage on the brain these days -- I am sure looking forward to the day when Clifford is up to doing some more ring work. We did just basic stuff but he could sidepass and did a beautiful collected canter. He was very supple.

But I digress. This piece is about 9 x 12", highlighted in blue and purple. It's listed on eBay as I continue with my experiments of color and textures and techniques in equine art.

Friday's Ornament - Friesian

This is a sketch in charcoal of a Friesian. I distinctly remember that while I was drawing this, I was talking on the phone with my mother, which might explain why the horse's hair is standing on end.
