🌼The story I want to tell you cannot be found in a book. 🌲They say that the history of the west was written from the saddle of a horse, but it’s never been told from the heart of one. 🐻⭐️Not till now. I was born here, in this place that would come to be called the Old West.🏜 But, to my kind, the land was ageless.🗻 It had no beginning and no end, no boundary between earth and sky.🐃 Like the wind and the buffalo, we belonged here, we would always belong here. 🌱They say the mustang is the spirit of the West. ☀️Whether that west was won or lost in the end, you’ll have to decide for yourself, but the story I want to tell you is true. 🍀I was there and I remember. I remember the sun, the sky, and the wind calling my name in a time when we ran free. 🌸I’ll never forget the sound and the feeling of running together. The hoof beats were many, but our hearts were one.🐎🐎🐎🐎 • Hey guys! I really had to draw something for myself instead of commissioning all the time😰 This is a redraw from a drawing i did in December 2018🏜 SPEEDPAINT IS UP ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!💕🌹 • Also: Can you spot the difference between the first and second slide?🤭😏 • #spirit#spiritstallionofthecimarron#spiritstallion#drawing#wacom#photoshop#photoshopcc •
