Today I was at the Brooklin Spring Fair and enjoyed watching the Light Horse show with classes for Carriage Horses, Hackney Ponies, Harness Ponies, and Haflingers.As usual I took along my camera and sketchbook and took photographs of the classes and did a number of sketches.
During the course of the day I probably did about 20 sketches which could be worked into paintings.
I also took well over 500 photographs of the various classes at the show.Needless to say, I am very happy that I have switched to digital as I would have hated to pay the cost to develop the film.
This quick sketch is of one of the Harness Ponies.
Fortunately, I took a series of photographs of the stages of this head study sketch.
A lady who had been watching me sketch on and off during the course of the day came over an asked if she could purchase one of my sketches.I would like to thank new collector Mrs. Marcia Darrin of Toronto, Ontario on her purchase of this sketch.
As I develop more of these sketches I will post them at a later date.
