Wild watercolor horses

“Wild Spirits,” watercolor on board, 12″x8″

Put your hand over your heart. Do you feel it? Wild hoofbeats. Fling open the gates and let them run free.

    You’re amazing to be able to take the feeling and the image and put it to paper.

    I played with Tux paint last night ( designed for 3-12 year olds) so I could try and do up some logos. Drawing with a mouse feels so disconnected to me, but it was fun.

      Awesome! I hate trying to draw with a mouse, too (although I know people who love it.) I went and got a graphics tablet and stylus – makes all the difference because it is just like drawing with a pencil or brush; you can even set it to vary the line with pressure.

      I’ve been playing with horse logos, too (the wolf thing was actually a spin off of that.) I send some along soon.

      Glad you had fun – keep playing!

    You make these paintings appear so effortless. You captured the movement!
