Eye of the horse

Sometimes it's fun and beneficial to just draw a portion of something - like in this case the eye of horses.  I drew out the eyes first and then painted them in watercolour.

Still Life sketches

Watercolour still life sketches

I sometimes like to add inspirational sayings to some of my sketches, as

I have done with these.

Wooden bird houses:  "We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence then is not an act but a habit"

 Wooden sculpture:   "The person who really wants to do something finds a way; the other person finds an excuse." & "You can always get what you want, but if you try, you'll find you get what you need."

Fruit still life: "Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow."
