Pencil and permanent marker (Sharpie) on paper, May 2008.
A companion to “Honey.”
After drawing “Honey,” the red / pink horse requested by my 3-year-old, my 5-year-old then reminded me that he would like a brown horse of his own called “Lunny.” I think he just wanted a name that rhymed with Honey, and took ‘Lenny’ but altered it. So he requested that I draw a representation of Lunny, pointing out a horse in an Arabian Horse breeders’ magazine.

Pencil and permanent marker (Sharpie) on paper, May 2008.
A companion to “Lunny.”
My 3-year-old is adamant that I am about to buy a horse that she has named Honey. While this is not true, she has decided that Honey will be a pink / red horse, a girl, a pretty horse, and able to talk. Apparently she will live in our rented suburban backyard. Oh, if only I could tell my children that they will get a horse, but I’ve been asking for one since I was 3 as well, and it still hasn’t happened yet!
The dream would be to get maybe an Arabian, Anglo-Arabian, Quarter Horse x Thoroughbred or maybe an Australian Stock Horse. Or a miniature. Or maybe a donkey…
I drew this one at my daughter’s request.

Acrylic on canvas board, 9×12″ (22.9×30.5 cm), April 2008.
This was a simple painting - I drew and cut out the stencil, painted in the background, then stencilled in the horses. My children were enjoying watching the process, though they expressed confusion and concern that the pink horse was running in a different direction to the rest of the herd. Thus is their introduction to learning to accept that not everyone wants to conform to the status quo.

May 2007 - Pencil on paper.
Another 6×9 cm sketch. Like I said with the previous one, it’s hard drawing detail on such a small area.

Watercolour pencil on paper, January 2008.
In case you hadn’t worked it out yet, yes, I draw a lot of horses!

Watercolour pencil and coloured pencil on paper, 2008.
This sketch was an attempt to try things from a different perspective. I draw horses a lot, and horse-derived mythical beasts a lot, too. This one was drawn late one Saturday night when the kids were distracted with a video and my husband was listening to music on the computer. So, away I sketched. And, why not?!

This is one of the water soluble pencil paintings I did over the hot New Years season. I can’t explain it. I just draw unicorns, a lot. They are probably my default drawing! One of my dear friends has humorously suggested that perhaps there are tiny, invisible horses on my paper, and I’m just tracing them when I draw.

This was drawn in water colour pencils, then painted. It was drawn on one of those awfully hot summer days that we had around New Year’s Day this year. I had been reading Arabian Horse magazines, and while I don’t think this horse necessarily looks Arabian, I was certainly inspired by the amazing purebreds in the magazines.
