Horse by a Flowering Tree Coloring Page

About this page

Here a tall, slim horse stands calmly on a small oval of grass, its head tilted toward a young flowering tree on the right. The neck carries a long, wavy mane that falls down one side, and the tail hangs in a thick sweep behind the hind legs on the left. The tree is thin and curved, with a bare trunk below and branches crowded with five-petal blossoms and round buds near the top. A few single petals lie scattered on the ground among grass tufts. All four hooves are visible, and the legs are drawn long and straight with light shading marks at the knees. The background is empty, so the horse and tree float on their grass island. This page has a quiet, springtime mood and plenty of small blossoms to fill with careful pen work, which fits teens who enjoy medium detail and gentle subjects.
