Illustration Friday: Night

I love this topic as I have been thinking about these mythical night creatures or I should say, bringers of night. They are, of course, the Horses of dusk which legend says roamed the earth constantly, bringing on their hooves the approaching night. Their hooves are light and as they gallop across the continents one can see a purple haze left by their trails across the sky. Sometimes, there may be a bit of rose, other times green and blue across the horizon. They say, the stars are released on clear nights. And if there are clouds, the Horses hoof prints can be seen as the moon peers through...but only for a moment. And so, I present "The Horses of Dusk"...

Thank you, Jamie...though they're meant to be horses not bears. My husband made the same comment though, so your not the only one. Lol : )

Oh this is lovely! Those sweet chubby horses remind me of glyphs of some sort found in ancient cave paintings.
