Description
Visiting the woods, blanketed in silence after a morning snow, a lady on horseback pauses to enjoy the moment and reflect upon the previous year. No where better to make a New Year's Resolution than on the back of a beautiful horse. I always think of the wonderful poem by Robert Frost at this time of year, Stopping By a Woods On a Snowy Evening, so this is my rendering of what the moment must have been like long ago before cars and cell phones. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
I based this drawing on a photo I have of a lady dressed in formal foxhunting attire in Virginia; the horse she rode was a black thoroughbred, but I liked the flowing mane of the Friesian for this work, and so placed her on one.
