2013 will be the year he will have a book written just for him.
I would like to thank my teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School for encouraging a young artist and writer to pursue her dreams. My school is forever in my heart.
2013 is a shiny new year, full of opportunity....
The Great Red Horse is moving along, I have several illustrations that are ready for the ink and watercolor. I am still playing around with the prose. I want it to be appealing and easy to read. Sounds simple, right? Nope. It's not. I have to be patient and wait for a bit of magic, and then capture it with a pen. It may sound frustrating, but it's not. It's fun, it's exciting--because when the magic hits it feels pretty great! It's almost as if Ring is speaking to me, and that is quite a wonderful feeling.
It's a profound experience to write an entire book on one of the most incredible horses I have ever met. A good friend, an inspiration, a comforting presence. I hope my words and drawings adequately capture what UC Ringmaster meant to me and countless others.
Happy New Year, take the next 365 days and fill the canvas with color and joy!
Blessings,
Helen
