Anky & Salinero

Medium-pencil
Here is a portrait of the “Queen of the Kur”....Anky Vangrunsven and her horse Keltic Salinero.
Dressage has always been a passion of mine, and to watch these two in action, is really something to take your breath away! Whenever I need inspiration to continue my dressage journey, I watch these two on dvd….and my spirit soars! I hope you will enjoy this drawing as much as I did creating it!
