Fire Queen Irish Jubilee Halter Competition

When I saw there was an Irish-themed competition, horseart-rpg.deviantart.com/jo…, I knew exactly where to get inspiration: the Song of Albion. This is one of my favorite book series, and the endless knot in the picture is based on the cover of the third book - of the same title. Behind that is the Irish flag. I think I'm starting to get the hang of drawing Clydesdales; I didn't even have to look at my original drawing of Fire Queen this time (except to grab the colors)

Fire Queen is a red roan Clydesdale mare.
