Farewell Old Year 2024

 Salvete Omnes,

and the last hours  of the old 2024 - Adios  Old Year.

and I will share some drawings of mine with you - I have been posting much of my art. 

These drawings I draw and painted on paper, with pen, ballpen, watercolor and gouache, mixing techniques.  

.. I like to think we once had shamans who had been eating Amanita Muscaria (muchomor czerwony in Polish) and then dreaming about the world within and without.

Cheers

Ballpen drawings & Sketches of Old Polish horsemen and horses

 Salvete Omnes

the very end of the year, it has been not a bad year AD2024 ... but for the wars and mayhem all over the world. 

I have not been posting my own drawings & sketches lately. 

So in the spirit of the New Year's Eve,  San Silvestre, Sylwester or la Noche Vieja coming tomorrow night, I am pleased to share  some of my Old Poland horsemen theme drawings & sketches in ballpen on paper, with some gouache and/or watercolor or gesso (some little resizing etc in GIMP and Krita)

..

Enjoy
