One of my sisters, while she was here this last weekend, had a
dream of giant horses, with legs that were trees. They towered over her, but
they ran up and down the hills at the speed of the wind! (I think that
she was thinking partly of Tulip that does love to run up and down the hills
behind her home in Paso Robles.)
I loved the idea of
that image that she described, so I had to try doing it. I spent Tuesday night
after choir practice researching images of horses that might lend themselves to
the idea of horses with tree legs. I found that the Percheron horses are already large and stocky but are beautiful
when they run, so I used them as a model for the horses in my picture.
This was not exactly a
quick sketch as it took me all day to do this image. I used Photoshop again. My
sister, Fay is also in the picture. I used her to show scale. Can you find her?
