IF-travel









Ever since I was a little witch
I had this big big wish:
To have a horse, to hold,
to stroke and kiss,
to sniff his sweet warm fur.
To ride! To travel, world and wide.
In my dreams, both day and night,
on dewy paths, through summer waves 
and rusty leaves, to feel the icy breeze.
A horse to carry me and me alone,
to ride a horse and to feel free.

  5. I am speechless! Incredible, breathtaking drawings... So much love and fondness radiate from them! The black and white makes the impact stronger. You are a queen of recreating movements - so light, so natural... I hope this is the beginning of a horse series...
    Wonderful, Hedwig!! Has your dream come true?? xx

    1. Thank you! And yes, my wish is fulfilled: I have an Icelandic horse, called Brim. We do not really travel very far, but we do ride through the country side. He came to me as a foal and is now 21 years old, so we are grown 'old' together. He is my friend :)

    3. Oh, how very nice! This experience has made you richer in many ways, I suppose. Here people ride horses only in the countryside, in the villages and mainly in the mountains. But I rode once together with a young man - just for some minutes and I remember the feeling...
      Please, do draw again Brim and you!!!xxx

  11. Il y a quelque chose d'oriental dans ton coup de pinceau, ce qui rend tes croquis très vivants.
    C'est très beau.
