Check out my son's latest art work.
This is a drawing he did for his wife's grandfather for a Christmas present. Her grandfather is a large animal vet. So my son did a drawing of an old man with his Belgium work horse. The setting is in Ireland, where his wife's decendants came from. You should also see much better viewing of this drawing (in the near future) by visiting his web site by clicking here: http://www.vansart.com/index.htm

8. No doubt, I am proud of him. Here is one of my favorite drawings
he did. This was done with a graphite pencil.

13. Great work!
When I was in England in '85, I snapped a photo of a man and his draft horse and cart. They all looked basically like this -- could have been 100 years prior. So amazing.

14. That's a wonderful portrait!
Just to let you know, a Belgian would have a flaxen mane and tail. That horse is bay. :hi:
