hello Amy! i would be thrilled to have any photos of horses!....as long as you know i would use them for paintings or drawings?....

the horse is such a beautiful animal...i love to paint animals but it really is hard because of references...
and there are so many wonderful breeds! it will take me a lifetime to finish all the horses i would love to do!
my husband and i took a ride out to where we know there are horses nearby and i was lucky enough to find a whitish horse a bit heavy in look...although i got to tell ya he has one long face and isnt the handsomest guy! lol

peggy thank you so much! this makes the world of difference for me! i want to sincerely thank all of you that are helping out!
now i will have plenty of horses with good clear details....because i plan on doing a huge series on this incredible animal....i shied away from doing horses because i didnt have enough permission granted images to work from...i am so excited!!....

i finished the horse i was working on...got it framedup yesterday but i have to go back....the mat is far to close to the muzzle and just not acceptable for professional work....ugh...but i have plenty of time to still fix it...

here is a peek but the photo was taken before it was framed...and i couldnt take him outside to photo cause we have been enduring horrid weather....even when the sun is out its so windy i wouldnt dare take this outside its a 22x28 drawing! it would blow away like the sails on a ship! lol...
