I love the detail of the horses faces. And I am so glad your dreams came true. I love how you call it the Dreaming Porch. I will have to remember that. If we get our farm All I can imagine is setting on the porch over there and watching the sun rise with a nice cup of coffee. I think of it often. This is why I love that place so much. You can sit on the porch and feel the calm and peace of nature in the air. I can dream of my garden there. It is like heaven on earth to me. Like I had at my old home in STL.
Gail, Whew..I can't keep up with all your posts! Love your paintings,,but I really like your charcoal drawings!! Very nice...and of course love the name of your porch..ahhh dreaming...nice concept!
Nice drawings Love! I have that in common with you..the having some horse things before the horse actually came to me! It is neat to look back at the progression~ KK
Wow, Gail.....that is neat. That your mind envisioned the horses and you painted them even before they showed up in your life. That is cool.....and wonderfully encouraging.
[Image] This is the wall painting I did on the Dreaming Porch, long before I had big horses. I had painted several different scenes only to paint over them. This one stayed and the horses became a reality. Notice one is the color of Knot and one the color of Charme, my first two big horses. [Image] A little artsy display in my utility corner. Charcoal and pencil were fun to play with. These were also drawn before I had riding horses. ~Maybe there is magic here At The Farm.

Beautiful painting and drawing! Wish I could paint like that... Ironic how you ended up with horses those same colors. :o)
