#PudgyHorse Lascaux Tribute 2. A companion piece to the first, following one of the other cave horses with a darker colour morph. Again, painted with pigments made by Mary Sanche from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

#ArtAdventCalendar
Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.

A perfect description. 🥰
I certainly can't blame any new folks for being *cough* behindhand in only just discovering #PudgyHorse. ;P But many seem to be missing something crucial in their comparisons with other, more popular lorge equines.

The Lascaux Pudgies are the perfect combination of beautiful, dignified and gently comical.

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃

Absurd ~ baroquerie ~
Detail from a drawing in progress of the head and neck of #PudgyHorse, whose profuse, windblown mane is almost excessive in its wavy, sinuous linework.

'Why do you believe you're ugly?' asked Pudge. 'Assume for a moment that those blights are more magnified to you than to others.'

'Perhaps,' said the crane, 'because I have never once been beautiful in the eyes of those I longed desperately to be.'

Brown pencil drawing of my character, Pudgy Horse — a baroque type horse with luxuriant mane and tail and deliberately exaggerated proportions including an extremely generous girth and short, delicate legs with dainty hooves — seen from behind in three-quarter view, but with the head turned back towards the viewer, or towards the red-crowned crane standing on Pudge's hindquarters with its beak tucked between its wings.

Drawing in brown pencil of my Pudgy Horse, a baroque-type horse with a luxuriant mane and tail and deliberately exaggerated proportions including an extremely generous girth and short, delicate legs with dainty hooves; accompanied here again with a red-crowned crane – a self portrait of sorts – standing on its back with one leg raised and its head tucked. Beyond them, a small roundel with clusters of cherry blossoms in the rain serves as a background.
