This was one of my first “horses in action” drawings. I did it on one Passover day, when I had the urge to “draw something, no matter what”. I looked at a picture that was cut in the bottom and back, and sadly I did make terrible mistakes there… However, I still like it a lot.

The original sketch was of the horse by himself, if I remember correctly. My husband suggested that I “put some story into it”, and this is the result. I like it very much, mistakes and all.

I don’t know why, but whenever I look at this drawing I can’t help but think that she turned out very similar to Geri Halliwell. I don’t even know how true it is, but it sort of got stuck in my head. Actually, this piece had no model, and the face was mainly determined by the combination of a texturized paper and my lack of experience. I find her cocky and sweet at the same time.

This is a classical “Never leave the face to the end”. I liked it much better before I added the face, though it’s pretty nice now too.
