Artist's Comments

I know, I said less horses... but this is from last year and needed finishing up.

Dutch Draft foal, reference is thanks to Ton van der Weerden [link]

this youngster was very special in that she appeared to display the Pearl gene, hence the blue eyes and odd colouration. This is very rare in the Dutch Draft breed. Sadly she died quite young due to colic and other complications that followed.

Oh colic is a nightmare. I had a horse go from it. It was hell. Poor baby.

Anyways! This is beautiful! The detail in the fur is amazing. The mane looks so soft. . .like you can actually touch it. Fantastic work! :D

So cool, recognised her from the thumbnail :D .

I followed the story of this foal and her color at a dutch horseforum. Thought she was pearl the moment I saw her. But she tested negative for pearl (and cream).
Last thing I heared was that they thought her death had something to do with the color as a result of a genetic effect (sort of like olw).

Love how the backgroundcolor matches her eye :) .
