Конь Таука/Tauka horse Painting

My name is Svetlana. I was born and live in Belarus. My life was rather diverse. I've been trying lots of occupations and hobbies and art wasn't the first one. But I've started drawing since childhood and always tried to make my works as detailed and accurate as possible. In my pictures I've tried to show the mood of what I've portrayed. I've never attended any art-classes and learned everything myself. I've started from pencil drawing and later even gave it up, not seing my future career in art. Some time later my boyfriend have inspired me to paint my first picture. It was a painting of a black horse named "Don Gregory" and it was made in honor of a beautiful stallion I've ride once. This painting was bought as soon as it was finished and it was a start of my career as an artist.
