Sketch

I had been wanting to do a sketch of one of the racehorses, Aggie, for awhile now. Her owner's birthday was today so I decided that now was as good of a time as any. Her owner said no presents for his birthday, so I called it a "gift for him and his wife" when I gave it to him/them.

So here it is:


I wasn't sure if it was good enough for a gift, but my fiancé approved and he's extremely picky about things like this. Good enough I guess. I put it in a frame with a piece of her tail that I braided and tied with string that matched the color of their silks. I made the piece of the tail the shape of a cancer awareness ribbon since Aggie's namesake had passed away from cancer. (Wish I'd taken a picture of it in the frame.)

Both our owner and his wife genuinely seemed to love it! They're great people and are so wonderful to work for, it made my day to see how happy the sketch made them!

Aggie. I think you can tell it's her in the sketch.  Maybe.
