Surfin for Inspiration

Mood: Inspired
Listening to: Evening News

Since I’ve been missing my reference books I decided to take a few minutes to surf the web for some inspiring photos of horses at play to use as reference for my Frolicking Arab Sculpture. Thanks to a kind reader who forwarded some great links I've found some really inspiring photos and horses!

Here are a few of them:

This isn't identical to my Arab, but the photo captures the horse in a similar pose and also portrays the attitude I’m going for. I’m also amazed by the athleticism of this beauty!

Here are a few more of the same horse. I almost created my sculpture in the exact pose of the first one! (I may still have to do a horse in this pose) More good examples for the attitude I’m looking for:

Wow! Look at this motion!

Here’s the neck I’ve been looking for, a little lower set than my Arab, but gorgeous and a good reference!

Now I’m totally inspired, but also totally exhausted. (We went on a long hike up a mountain today, it was gorgeous, but exhausting) But, there are many more photos to inspire me here so I’ll come back for more inspiration tomorrow. I’ll be purchasing from this amazing photographer for certain!
