This first sketch is one I drew yesterday , then painted in watercolors, then re-painted about twice today in acrylics. It is on 14x17 paper in my sketch book and fastened to my portable drawing board. I named it "Preakness" and I drew the basic form from a photo in the news. But if you know anything about riding, you see that I drew the rider too far back on the horse, so it's a do-over. Also, I was intentionally trying to make the horse look huge as if you were standing beside him. There is a scripture verse in the book of Job* in which GOD describes to Job [human] the horse HE [GOD] created and it has always fascinated me.
. The 2nd sketch is one I also drew painted, signed , photographed, uploaded [as always on any blog of mine] in this year, and I named it "jumping and dressage". It is acrylic on paper 14 x 17.
Third sketch is also one I drew painted signed etc this year and named "jumping horse". Acrylic on paper.
The 4th sketch is also one I drew paintd this year and named "Lincoln" and it is acrylic on paper.
The fifth sketch is one I drew painted signed in 2012 and named "rodeo". It is also acrylic on paper but smaller , about 9 x 12 inches in size.
Also, batch 2 of horses I drew , painted, signed, photographed and uploaded is on my Gloria's blog which is a mini-exhibit of art I created in a series at:
https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com; and batch 1 is on that same blog so scroll to archives [go to bottom first page, click "older posts" as many times as necessary til you find the posts for March 23, 2014 [Batch 2] and for March 16, 2014 [batch 1].
*footnote: Job 39:19-25, KJV as written, {GOD speaking to Job to chastise him}: "Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? The glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley and rejoiceth in strength; he goeth on to meet armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted [afraid; frightened]; neither turneth he back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground [runs fiercely] with fierceness and rage; neither believeth he the that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, 'ha, ha', and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting."
Reminder: I wrote a poem today entitled "Writing for Life" and posted it to my official blog for Tapestry of LIFE at https://tapestry-of-life-llp.blogspot.com.
And yesterday, I reclaimed my blog https://save-the-baby-humans.blogspot.com and put prolife news on it; and put more and very important prolife news on another prolife blog of mine at : https://prolife-nurse.blogspot.com, so please read those. It matters to all citizens that the United States continues and has enough people to populate it [Wyoming citizen said they 'have more cows than people" living there. ] And it matters to the world that the human race continues. So the news on Prolife Commentary [prolife-nurse] contains some shocking and very urgent news for all to read.
Also, I put sketches I drew and painted yesterday on my blogs: http://gloriapoole.wordpress.com and also http://gloriapoole1749.wordpress.com

I have had ten YEARS of constant unrelenting efforts by cyber-thugs to steal my name, steal the art I created and the photos I photographed and that explains why I have so many versions. When one would be compromised for a while [almost 4 yrs in the case of one email I have had almost 18 yrs] I would create another to stay on web; then often i would get back the once-compromised one also. Also, because I create art almost daily and need several to be able to display it all.

See about me page for information that could affect copyright enquiries because I have created art since 1991 regularly and for 4 of those years I was married a second time and my legal name was different then. I am divorced a second time since Oct 2007 and so I am single again.

Gloria Poole , at my own private apt in Missouri; 19-May-2014 at 9:51am. Update at 5:42pm by me Gloria to add this:
My digital TV antenna and/ or set top box that belongs to me was hacked by cybercriminals today and all channels on it were wiped out via software attack. I asked my neighbors 2 apts over from me if they had digital TV and if it was working; and they do and he said it was working but went inside to be sure [so don't know for certain]. I have not had a "plan' on a TV since about 1999 and do not plan too. I don't watch TV often so it's not a terrible hardship but it was a revelation that even digital antennas are hackable from remote by criminals. Who knew? I tweeted this info to the @FBI so they would be aware if need to see if TV station itself was hacked. The U S will be an awful country to live in when everything is controlled by the internet and the cybercriminals that control it . I am sure the cyber-criminals thought they were interfering with my internet but I never trusted satellite internet! How can anyone secure an air wave?

Update by me Gloria on 22 May 2014 at 4:04pm to add this: I created a new cartoon and page of the story about Lady Bugs giving a picnic I have written and illustrated and I put on web for parents to read to their preschool children. It is a work in progress, but a different version of it has been published. I am continuing the process of getting it published on mass scale . Meanwhile, I put a partial version [so far] on the web so that parents with small children and tablets and or laptops netbooks, smart phones could read to their children anywhere and have art to show them while traveling, or standing in line, or just sitting in rocker at home at bedtime. It's located at:
https://cartooning-by-gloriapoole.blogspot.com.
I call it a work in progress because the picnic hasn't happened yet. The art for it is completed but I have not posted the final page of the story on that site yet, but will in due time. Because it began as a vague idea and sort of developed as I went along, that site of mine also has random cartoons just for fun to entertain small children, so you have to scroll through to find the pages of the story but they are marked so you can follow the story. Of course, it is moral and safe from my standpoint of what I created and put on it, but I do not ever vouch for the internet. I have created blogs and sites since 2002 and I know for certain that there are bad people lurking on web. My site for the cartoons was all right the day I added the most recent page. But my yahoo accts were involved in an attempt in past 2 days by cyber-criminals to hijack them to steal my identity and I tweeted the @FBI and @Yahoo to ask for their help. I created art for that story of Lady Bugs giving a picnic that I hope will delight small children and the story of how the lady bug picnic happens and all the adventures along the way, is intended to fascinate them. I would appreciate any feedback from viewers about it.
