Artist's Comments

One of my all time favourite Silver Brumby characters is Choopa, from 'Dancing Brumby', the 9th book by Elyne Mitchell. I thought it was about time that I attempted to draw him. Just for fun, and here he is. I read the book for the first time when I was 7 and while I don't read them so much anymore, I still have a soft spot for 'em. Oh yes.

'Dandaloo, an old blue roan mare has her last foal. He is ugly and crippled, but she loves him with a love stronger than any she has felt before. None the less, there is a magic about the strange little foal. He can dance, weaving a spell around all who watch, both the creatures of the bush, and man. Will Choopa survive the brumby hunts, bush fires and the cold of winter as he roams the mountains with his mountain creature friends, his father Son of Storm, and Dandaloo as she seeks ways of making him stronger? What will other horses think of the little dwarf? Will they accept or kill him? What of the men that are captivated by the little horse's dance?'

Lineage and other info: [link]

He's all grown up here, a fully grown stallion. I just wish I'd put a little more effort into this now, there isn't much there...but ah well. As I mentioned before, this was just for fun. ;)

I love it! You're the kind of digital artist I strive to become! I can't do anything like that through my computer programs!

Wow this is fantastic! I loved the Dancing Brumby books - you should try his dwarf mate... erm, I can't remember her name.... the snowflake mare.

Every picture tells a story. Sometimes we don't like the ending. Sometimes we don't understand it.

Choooopaaa! He's one of my favourites too =D I love the way you drew him here (although, wasn't he always a dwarf even after he reached maturity?).. those markings are lovely, and I like the way he reflects in the water too. And ooh, unless I'm mistaken you drew him 'wearing St Elmo's fire on his head like a cap and bells'! I've always loved that reference and you did it beautifully, Brumby. I always love seeing your horse paintings =D

There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."
