Creative Tuesdays - Children

Michael's Stores (the Arts and Crafts retailer) is running an art challenge in the US and Canada if anyone's interested!



Welcome to Creative Tuesdays!  Michael's current theme is 'Children'.  This piece is called 'Horse Love', done in my (9" x 12") sketchbook in watercolour crayon and pencil.  It's based on a recent photograph of my niece and seemed to fit well with our CT theme.  I had done a portrait here of her and my brother when she was a baby.

Such love comes through your piece. I can tell your niece loves her horse and it's returned. You have done a great job. Love it.
