  5. Still sick, brain not working. This is brilliant! You are taking horses to another plane. I won't say you are anthropomorphizing them - that would be insulting to the Horse, in my book. What else can I say? It is genius!!!

    1. So sorry to hear you are still under the weather and hope it won't be much longer until you are back to normal. Thank you for the kind words - I am stretching equine athletics (antics) to the utmost with these recent paintings. I have no intention of anthropomorphizing the horses but each viewer may see something different. In my mind, they are completely equine!
