Horse Design Drawing No. 8

Medium
Drawing - Colored Markers On Paper
Description
This drawing is one of my Green Horse Inspirations series. My studio www.greenhorsestudio.com is named after the "green horse lamp" which is an actual lamp featuring a green ceramic horse jumping over a barricade. This lamp has been in our family since the 1950's and has finally come to me. When I look at it, it reminds me to DREAM. I strive to exhibit creative imagination as the "lamp" artist did so many years ago.
This past summer I combined the image of a horse, often green, with a patterned dreamscape of hills, clouds and pathways. To me the process was fun and the result satisfying.
The Fine Art America logo will not be visible on any purchased work.

Returning to enjoy this wonderfully brilliant and cheerful artwork! I just glanced through your website and blogs, very enjoyable reading! Interesting to note that you used to work in watercolour.
Heather McFarlane-Watson replied:
Thank you, Malanda, for visiting this image again. And thank you for visiting my greenhorsestudio.com website. The negative space technique much used in watercolor has helped greatly in my oil pastel work.

This brilliantly coloured series evokes positive feelings of joy, happiness and reminds me of the magical way in which children see the world that far too many of us have lost sight of. A real pleasure to view Heather! LF

Thank you so much, Malanda, for all your appreciation! This series of Horse Design Drawings has been a lot of fun to create (in fact, I am still at it) and quite relaxing. I hope these effects are felt by viewers - removing them from the troubled world of today, if only temporarily.
