Carousel horse

Something new does come along often enough to keep me humble. The last thing was a suggestion that a carousel horse would be really nice for a grand-daughter's room, since she loves horses. I've always been a carousel "aficionado" and in fact had a small collection of porcelain carousel horses and have always thought a real, full sized carousel horse would be wonderful in my living room along with the wall art.

This piece was the result, 16 x 20 (framed) on bristol, with the horse done in graphite and the trappings done in CP. There are things I would change of course but the grand-daughter was thrilled ... love to do things for youngsters!

I rather think two small companion pieces, maybe head studies, might work as the next gift.
