"Curious"
"Curious" is created from watercolor and soft pastel. A delicate foal with a cream-colored coat turns its head to investigate a large stuffed teddy bear resting on the ground. The young horse's muzzle stretches forward, nostrils flaring as it gently sniffs the plush toy's fuzzy surface. Its ears perk forward with innocent curiosity, while its dark, liquid eyes reflect a childlike wonder.
The stark white background isolates the pair, drawing all attention to their quiet interaction. The teddy bear sits upright, its soft plushness contrasting with the foal's organic softness. Sunlight seems to glow from within the scene, highlighting the foal's silken mane and the bear's well-loved fur.
This is a moment of pure, unguarded discovery. The foal's tentative exploration of a child's toy creates a tender juxtaposition between the living and the imagined.
