Legs folded under and mane streaming back, the horse flies over a rainbow that arcs from one corner of the sheet to the other, with clouds banked up on both sides. The rainbow is the decision worth making before starting: counted first, its bands come out even, and the child picks the order rather than copying one. The wings are drawn in long feathers that colour best from the body outwards, lighter at the tips. Four years old and up, fifteen minutes or so. Back on the ground with all four hooves down, Horse in Flowers is standing still.
Coloring ideas for this page
- A white coat with pale blue shading where the wings meet the body.
