Description

Horses have been an important part of my life since I was a little girl and they could definitely be called my first love! During my school years a horse my parents got for me was my best friend and constant companion when I wasn't in school. We spent hours roaming the private and public lands around my parent's home. Some of the time I was accompanied by one or more of my cousins; but, most of the time I rode alone, enjoying the scenery and wildlife along with the peace and quiet of the river bottom, cedar hillsides, or when it was low enough I crossed the river to ride the unfrequented back roads and trails to the base of Mount Lamborn and Landsend which loom over our valley. Horses were so much a part of my life that they were also my first love as art subjects! I spent hours drawing them and learned basic drawing skills from sketching these noble and graceful animals. Moon is actually a four year old dark dapple gray who belongs to my grandson. Both he and his dad (my son) are both avid horsemen. This image is a digital art rendition of my original photo of Moon.
