First piece for 2009: Challenger

Challenger, 18" x 20", Charcoal and Conte Crayon on slate blue Canson Mi-Teintes paper, smooth side.

This piece depicts a young and headstrong stallion. He struck me as a challenger: challenging his rivals, his grooms and his trainers. A bit of a fiery spirit; loved and respected by all who know him.

How many of us know a horse just like this?

Challenger is currently available unframed, contact me at soundthebuglestudio (at) charter.net to inquire about purchasing.
