(Imagine it all happening in slowmotion)

The birds twittered and sang as Annabelle was training liberty dressage this early summers morning with the 13 year old Andalusian stallion Accelerando. She walked next to him and he was fully focused on her and her body language for signs of what he were suppose to do. Annabelle tapped her whip carefully on the peak of his croup as she made a little piaff movement herself with her legs, tiptoeing next to him. Alex understood and started piaffing as he trotted around her in a circle with airy leaps.

She stopped poking him with the whip and he stopped piaffing but continued to walk around her. Annabelle raised her arm in front of him and he stopped as she circled around him and went down on her knees next to him. With a sensitive touch she placed her hand in between his front legs under his chest and Alex sank backwards as he tucked his head un between his legs and went back into a deep bow. He stayed this way for several seconds before Annabelle gave him permission to return to his standing position. As he went up, Annabelle gave him a little reward, a little piece of a red apple which he ate with satisfaction.

Annabelle walked away from him but he followed close by. Always a half horse length behind as Annabelle started running. Alex set off after her in a canter and chased her while bucking and rearing, content with the play they were executing.
Annabelle did a sudden stop and raised both hands towards Alex and he did a sliding stop as he went up on his hind legs in a swift motion. He went down and Annabelle patted him in between his ears as they continued their playful evening together.

-----------------

This was such a pleasure to draw It is time that Annabelle shows our baroque horses a bit more. They need to be shown because they are such amazing animals.

I added difus clow to the drawing since that give extra soul to the picture and more effect Hope you don't mind it (because I love it) LOL

New wallpaper! The warm colors work so well with the gentle feel of this moment. I also must say, your humans and horses are phenomenal... watching your human artwork develop is wonderful. (Helps me get into more human sketches, even if I don't post them)

I have to say that I really love this "series" of yours with the sand and other colored backgrounds. The fact that you leave it feeling "sketchy" makes it seem almost nostalgic, and adds this feeling of warmth to each piece that I have seen. It's quite marvelous.

Did you add the the white markings digitally, or were they done traditionally as well? They just seem so crisp that I was wondering how you managed it.

The white markings are done traditionally. So they are there on the original drawing and has not been drawn digitaly afterwards
