Today’s #ArtAdventCalendar is going to break the pattern and, sadly, disappoint.
Today I wish I could share with you some of the literal-thousands of horse drawings, paintings, and other art in traditional and digital forms that I’ve done since I was tiny. But, I can’t.
I have an artist’s block that relates to the fact horses have and always will be my autistic special interest, and that I’ve been bullied and judged for it since I turned about 12 when I “should have grown out of it”. From then, I learned I must hide it to survive.
People who know me very well today often don’t realise just how deep my love of horses runs, how knowledgable I became, and how I miss time with horses like I miss a piece of my soul.
Here’s to every artist who has ever experienced a block. ❤️🐎
