Two IRL horses & a decorator model
Process Notes
I posed the question, “Any ideas for off-horse activities?” debandtoby suggested, “Painting or sketching horses?” [Homework]
This was an excellent idea. An artistic challenge. An interesting use of time. Who knows what I would discover if I sketched daily for the next six to eight weeks? I was certainly familiar with the visuals.
Unfortunately, the project did not take into account that my brain was fudge. I had the time. I did not have the bandwidth. What I discovered was that Quad Horse was as far as I was going to get. Injury repair does not leave space for massive self improvement. Who knew? [Quad Cat]

Computer Quad Horse is a recreation of my sketching. I did draw. Just not much.
Onwards!
