My brother's birthday is next week, so I took the opportunity to make him a card using today's WT challenge, which was to use a horse -- in honor of the Chinese Year of the Horse, which starts tomorrow. I loosely used yesterday's sketch challenge for my layout. I did remove the ribbon element from the sketch.

What a beautiful Arizona landscape! I love the running horse, I guess that's what my painting needs. By coincidence we painted a southwestern scene at art class today and mine was missing something....I think it's your horse.
