Midnight Dreamer Studio Ok I know I am supposed to be packing but I just HAD to draw today instead....For those of you who are not avid ARABIAN HORSE LOVERS, this is a portrait of the legendary Khemosabi, he made a HUGE mark in the Arabian horse breeding world. To me Khemosabi was like the 'heart of the ocean'....I first saw this beautiful horse when I was 10 years old in back issues of ARABIAN HORSE WORLD that my aunt gave me....from the first time I saw him I wanted to draw him with a passion, he was actually what started my passion for Arabian horses and art to be honest.......so this Portrait is a HUGE deal for me! SO here it is, 14 years in my mind, driving me and my love for art and Arabians....I hope you all enjoy this! I am going to send a print of this to the owners (because this drawing means too much to me to give up the original), I know they will enjoy this :) Khemosabi++++// 5/14/67-3/1/01 Anyway needless to say as soon as I finished this portrait I poured myself a strong drink and smoked a cigarette :) Tomorrow I will finish packing since we are moving in just 2 days.....Thanks too all my friends for taking a moment to look at this and share this special moment with me :)
