Oh, chestnut horses, how I long to capture your glossy golden highlights, autumn-red lowlights and soft grey muzzles – but mere mortal hands (and color pencils) can only hope to transcribe a fraction of your beauty~

I image searched “frolicking sheep” a while back and was rewarded with an image set of this springy fellow~

If you’re looking to start the year of the horse with more horses in your home, may I recommend some of these prints from my shop? (but don’t let me stop you stuffing real horses into your house, of course, if you have the means.)

I meant to do some kind of reflective New Year’s Eve compilation of the artworks I made this year, but I ran out of time. May I offer you instead some little watercolor ponies and sheepsies?

Hope you’re having a cozy Christmas~ (and that your house-wyrm lets you drink your hot-cocoa eventually!)

It’s Christmas Eve and even unicorns know that means it’s time to put on your warm winter coats and venture forth to greet your friends~

I don’t remember why I was sketching funny-faced cats and prim little ponies on this page of my sketchbook, but it looks like I was having fun~

Some say a new goddess has taken up residence in the old temple, but really I think she just stops by for snacks.

Could it be that the sun is already setting on this lovely Bovember? If only there were an sufficiently punny way to cowify December. Cowcember? Decowber? Cowristmas Time? No, it simply wouldn’t work, and so the season for cows must be sweetly brief~

Thankful for critters, thankful for crayons, thankful I get to draw critters with crayons~ (and pencils and pens and markers and paint)

Winged cows are not capable of true flight - rather, the wings seem to have evolved simply to allow for more acrobatic frolicking.
