Icelandic Horses

It's great to be back in Iceland.

I'm here as a guest of the archaeological project at Hólar, where I've spent
many summers drawing finds, some of which you can see here. While I'm here this
time though, I plan to begin portraits of some Icelandic horses. And if there's
one thing Iceland knows how to do well it's horses. As my daughter would tell
you, there are many types of Icelandic horse; fluffy ones, hairy ones, brown
ones, black ones, brown and black ones, orange ones, messy ones and then there
are tidy ones. And with a wide selection just outside my window I'm in the
perfect place for sketching and photographing some of these messy, hairy horses.
