This is a graphite pencil drawing of Sidney, the donkey who is the mascot at my friend’s animal sanctuary in Colorado. He’s very friendly and greets all the volunteers with that funny braying he does to say “hello”. Such a character. He also happens to be best buds with Chico, the long-horn steer, who shares [...]
Here’s a graphite pencil drawing of an Arabian mare and her foal out for their morning romp across the pasture. It won’t be long now and baby will be separated from his/her mom, but for this day, they share the joy of running free together.
This is a rather quick graphite pencil drawing/sketch of my friend’s Arabian stallion, who was either very thrilled to have been turned out to the pasture, or…..he was just showing off for us. Beautiful creature!
I know this website is all about graphite pencil drawings, but….I also did an acrylic painting of this particular drawing of an Arabain horse. I do that a lot. Thought you might enjoy seeing the bright and bold version, which is available as a giclee print, on paper or canvas, in a variety of sizes, [...]
I’m having such fun with this Zazzle website! Using one of my Arabian horse graphite pencil drawings, I created another t-shirt for all the Arabian horse lovers out there. Below is the image, and here’s the link: http://www.zazzle.com/i_love_arabian_horses_t_shirt-235913909408959375 I hope you like it. I’ll be adding more and more items to the Zazzle store as time [...]

I thought Quarter horses, on the other hand, were quite awkward and clumsy looking, not so attractive at all. That all [...]
Meet Chico and Sidney. Chico is the long-horn steer, Sidney the burro. I was there the day they were introduced to each other on my friend’s ranch. This graphite pencil drawing captures the scene when it was apparent Sidney really wanted to be friends with Chico, who could have cared less at the time. Over the [...]
Here’s a graphite pencil drawing of three donkeys who met me at the fenceline of my friend’s ranch. She told me they are brothers, and quite the characters, each having a very unique and distinct personality. I tried to capture that in this drawing.
Ok…I have to quit this now. I could literally spend hours on this Arabian horse project. My original graphite pencil drawing looks really weak compared to the computer enhanced version. YIKES. Scarey!
Well….this is too much fun. I’ve spent a few hours using the photo touch-up program on my computer to enhance my original graphite pencil drawing of an Arabian horse. I’m actually pretty impressed and the process is a hoot. Could spend several more hours on this project, just to discover what all I can produce [...]
