fior lar sketch

"They were always associated with horses "

"There` s such a thing there as a fíor-lár. The fíor-lár is a fairy horse, a fairy foal. And how that foal comes to be a fairy horse is this : You see, ordinarily it takes approximately ten, eleven months, or a little over it, for a mare to breed a foal. But for a fíor-lár, from the day the mare has left the horse until the day she has the foal, she has to carry that foal for three hundred and sixty-six days. Not a leap year, now, but any year - a year and a day.) ´Tis very rare. You might get one in five thousand. And if you get that foal, you have a fairy foal. People don`t particularly like `em. They can be funny fish. "

I had photo of horses I found on pinterest, but unfortunately I was not able to find the photograph, as it was quite small and un-credited, but it had some lovely rural scenery and serene atmosphere.
I turned it into something more mysterious and misty in my mind and tried to capture that version on paper :)
