Horses have always been the hardest thing for me to draw and paint. So I never drew or painted any! But when I do art festivals and events I occasionally get requests for unicorns. Would I sell any? Who knows, but if I didn't try I'd never know. Thank goodness for Photoshop, where you can cut and paste and move pieces of improperly-drawn legs and ears around without erasing constantly. I probably still can't do a properly detailed horse, but I do have a knack with cute things and I relied on that to get me through this "assignment."
This piece is still kept along the lines of all my work in the Inspirational Canvas Gallery, with textures and layering of colors and transparencies. There are pieces of the canvas divided into rectangular and square segments which divide the canvas into halves and halves again, but this time they are less obvious and offset with circular design elements.

Hi Janet, thank you for noticing! I've never been able to draw horses all my life, and since I had this cute idea, I looked and studied and practiced and copied horse bodies and fantasy animal bodies until I felt I could pull it off. Then I had to do all the proportion changes to make it look like a baby. That part has always been easy, and I love doing "cute." There are formulas to make a person or animal look cute. But the actual horse/unicorn drawing was a real challenge. Whew!

I like that you did cloven hooves. I rarely see them in unicorn art, but I believe that unicorns have cloven hooves. Very cute baby, too!
