"Here Comes That Farrier Again"

Here Comes That Farrier Again, 2009, 18" x 23", charcoal, conte and chalk pastel on moss green Canson Mi-Teintes.

This was a fun piece to do. "Here Comes That Farrier Again" depicts a bright bay horse, keeping an eye (and ears) on what's behind him. Watching for that sneaky farrier...

Here Comes That Farrier Again's subject seems a little fidgety, and his rear hoof is raised ever so slightly as he stays in tune to his surroundings. I love depicting the many moods and expressions of the equine! So much fun.

This drawing made A LOT of dust, and I still have charcoal and pastel embedded in my fingers. I really love getting the lines on the paper flying and smudging...

many thanks to Sara of beautiful Wellfleet, Massachusetts for helping me title this piece!

Here Comes That Farrier Again will get a frame soon and will be available for sale.
