Chinese Year of the Horse

I spotted this wonderful transitory and alive piece of art made to celebrate the year of the horse.  Children are adding their footprints to the snow drawing on a closed overpass in Wuhan, Hubei province, Central China

Classical horses, no, not that kind!

For example, I have more understanding of what is happening in the horse's body structure when I doing free or interpretative drawings. Here I am inspired by equestrian sculptures in Rome and other places.

Anatomy

I am working on anatomy, at last I feel this is the time.  Until now I backed off from it, thinking it would inhibit expression.  But I see that it has the opposite result.  Knowing how the nostrils are formed, or the front legs, for example, is liberating.
