I am on the road and were it not for a stop in Chattanooga on the way back from Texas to Asheville Nc, I would probably not participate today. Been in cars for 30 hours this week, man...
I am writing on a tablet so don't want to write too much but more later. This is a nursery rhyme we had in Chile, analogous to the black Sheep have you any wool one from Britain. I am embarrassed at my horse drawing skills which is why I ended u p doing 2.
Have a great day!
This is the song.

Little White Horse
Canción infantil
(Spanish)
Children's Song
(English)
Caballito blanco,
llévame de aquí,
llévame a mi pueblo
donde yo nací.
Tengo, tengo, tengo,
tú no tienes nada,
tengo tres ovejas
en una cabaña.
Una me da leche,
otra me da lana,
y otra mantequilla
para la semana.
Levántate Juana
y prende la vela,
anda a ver quién anda
por la cabecera.
Son los angelitos
que andan de carrera
buscando la leche,
pa' la mamadera.
Little white horse,
Take me away.
Take me to the town,
Where I was born.
I have, I have, I have,
You have nothing.
I have three sheep,
In a cabin.
One gives me milk,
Another gives me wool,
And another, butter,
A whole week's worth.
Get up, Joan,
And set fire to the candle,
Go see who's walking
On the headboard.
It's the little angels
Who go running
Looking for milk
For the bottle.

Alicia, how interesting to have a Nursery Rhyme from Chili that is like the one from UK.
Sometime quickly done sketches have a lot of character. Yours sure does. Love looking at all your details.
Like Mmm does pencil sketches have a I love with so much details.
Very nice Alicia, thanks for the explanation too, I was puzzled!
Love your sketches, they have so much energy in them, especially the seond one. Your horse is great. Fascinating to hear about a Chillian nursery rhyme as well.
Awww, Alicia, than you so much for even taking the time to draw anything when on the road. You tell a lot of story in your drawing here so am glad you posted anyway. Wonderful. Thank you! :) So glad you joined in.
So, does it feel good being a part of CT again? You know, we'd love it if you wrote down the lyrics to this rhyme. I never even knew it existed!
Hope to see you again next tim around at CREATIVE TUESDAYS.
Visiting from CT - I think your horses are just perfect and your sheep made me smile, holding their 'wares' :o)
A Chilean Nursery Rhyme! That's unusual. I wonder what its connection with the UK is. We used to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep when I was a child
