Description NOT FOR PUBLIC USE

This is a commission I just finished, December 9th, 2012, for my riding instructor's daughter. It is her daughter's beloved mule, Cooper. I didnt go exactly from my own photgraphy that was used as a reference. This is her daughter's Christmas gift. Pictures of this drawing doesn't do it justice. Trust me.

Reference: based from my own photography [link]
Time: 4-5 hours
Tools: 2b, hb, and 6b graphite pencils. And smudge stick
Size: 9x12 on acid free drawing paper

Not been too bad...other than really busy. Hell...I thought being retired meant I did not have to work! I work harder now than when I "worked" and don't get paid for it!! how has it been going for you? Sounds like you little filly is doing well.

That sounds like no fun
Yes, she is doing so well. Well, today was a fall back, but she's young so it's normal. I wouldn't put a past to it that she could do beginning dressage tests next spring at a schooling show. She just makes me so proud. It just sucks I gota get my back board caught up. I hate not having a paying job.
Oh, and my photography business is kind of starting off. I've been hired on by my friend's mom who rode Levi at the eventing show that I uploaded pictures of. And my instructor is trying to help me get my art going too, cuz of the back board.
How's your babies doing?

Both Shooter and Beauty are doing fine. They are both fat, fuzzy and sassy. It was really nice for a while but I was too darned busy trying to get the barn and greenhouse weatherized for the winter so was not able to do much then the weather took a turn towards CRAPPY so we are in the "just being pasture ornaments for the winter phase" To darn windy and cold to work with them out in the open.

The cold does seen to make them silly!! We are not getting much snow. Just bitter temps and brutal winds. Today the temp is up in the 40's though...the wind of course is still blowing. Been a really odd winter so far weather wise. Wish I had an indoor arena!!
