Shire horse and art tip

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is a shire horse.
Today's tip: Try to be the shire horse not the racehorse. Press and even artists, like to portray artists as unreliable and flighty, this may be because they wish them harm, or it may be because it makes them interesting to write about,  but ether way, it can sneak into your thinking about art. Forget it! Leave the the fidgeting and kicking to the racehorse. Be the shire horse, get that cart and lean on it, overcome it's resistance to starting, drag it up hill. The beauty of art is, if you do this, you will very soon look behind to see you have left both shire horse and racehorse on the ground, because you have become the kestrel, whipping over uphill ground, now irrelevant to you!
