Coloured pencil is proving very difficult to scan; the subtlety of colour and line is just not coming through. I'm thinking of photographing them in a kind of mini studio instead to see if that works better. It's really frustrating! <br /><br />Thanks so much for following and I'll look forward to hearing from you again,<br /><br />EmEm Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-25777900434191200002012-05-03T21:14:10.749+01:002012-05-03T21:14:10.749+01:00Came by the way of Danielle.

I loved it and your post has made me determined to go back. <br /><br />So glad you like the foals. Sadly, they're probably long gone. I've been busy drawing foal number 2 this afternoon which has been lovely after days of trying to entertain my poorly son. He's much better now and back at school. It's very misty here again today and the moor is covered in black slugs.

I am in the New Forest and love to follow the lives of the local ponies hefted to our end of the village,as well as looking after a handful of previously unwanted NF foals who are now much loved adults in our fields.<br /><br />I do like your "Sleeping foals". I wonder what became of them?Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-44962605382724134882012-05-03T10:40:53.950+01:002012-05-03T10:40:53.950+01:00You're absolutely right.

Nice looking pony but not very Dartmoor! <br /><br />I managed to mow the lawn yesterday but today we're back to living in a cloud sadly. Lots of columbines doing well in that border and I'll look forward to your suggestions.Em Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-38355688447021032802012-05-03T10:12:24.226+01:002012-05-03T10:12:24.226+01:00Looks like they're running a coloured stallion...Looks like they're running a coloured stallion on your part of the moor - presumably to make the offspring more desirable at the sales? <br /><br />We were on the edge of the recent torrents of rain (for once) but still had lesser amounts which made walking or gardening out of bounds.<br /><br />I shall put my thinking cap on about what to grow in your shady dry border.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-72236426971300263372012-05-01T19:53:28.784+01:002012-05-01T19:53:28.784+01:00Thank you!
