Thank you for your lovely comments Denise,George, David and Carole. I’m always amazed at how powerful they look , some times in photos they don’t look quite real , yet they are so gentle and have a very tender nature . They certainly deserve the title of gentle giants.

You must get a lot of pleasure doing your great horse sketches Paul.

Carole , Heather and Richard thank you for taking the time to look and comment they are much appreciated. Richard for the first time in a don’t know how long I have found a subject that I have always like but never really tried. It not quite an obsession at the moment, but I do find myself thinking of how to do the next one, simply because I am getting so much pleasure out of sketching , painting and researching heavy horses. I’m sure the bubble will burst and then I will need to find something different.

Wonderful stocky build, lots of power in that muscle. A well earned rest…..great drawing Paul.

Thank you Anne, Jean and Fiona for your kind comments. It’s a bit of a challenge just picking out scenes that I thinks the girls will like and find something to say about each one.

About the Artist

I have sketched most of my life on and off I became interested in watercolour following a spinal injury whilst in hospital but did not follow it up. My eldest daughter bought me a beautiful wooden box set of half pans about twenty five years ago I dabbled on and off until retirement twelve years…
