Josie

More sketching of the racetrack crowd. This is another one of the horses I regularly massage. Her barn name is Josie. She is the sweetest filly, very classy. That's "barn speak" for a horse whose temperament and manners are beyond reproach. She also is a good racehorse. You can see her quality and "heart" right away from her behavior. She makes me grateful to be working with her.

I did this sketch from a snapshot I took after her massage. She was looking very relaxed at that point, bless her.

Watercolor pencils and Neocolor II crayons in a Stillman and Birn Gamma. I couldn't resist adding the little cartoon at the bottom. That's in pen and ink with a splash of color.
