An Early Work
I did this when I was 14; the reference photo was a cute ad in a horsey magazine. It is done on charcoal on cheap acidy paper--(notice how it has deteriorated?)
I am glad I saved it. You can see how I was developing a fondness for expressive, loose line--and you can see what time has done to the cruddy paper I used. It is actually much yellower, but my design wizard hubby was able to Photoshop away some of the nastiness.
Alas, you can now see why it is worth it to pay a little more to have good paper that withstands the test of time. And since I am a Certified Paper Snob, I use only acid-free archival papers.
So there.

You drew this at 14???
I'll never pick up a pencil as long as I live.
I was just a horse crazy kid with a charcoal pencil.

Does your hubby also do dishes?

This picture so reminds me of Sam Savitt's stuff--who I rank as one of my top 3 equine artists. Seriously, folks--don't you agree(Do a search for some of his stuff-you'll see what I mean :)!)
ism--yes, my hubby does dishes. Cuz I don't... :)
and KL--thank you a million times. Sam Savitt is an equine art hero of mine.
