We Save Horses #1



One day a couple of years ago I observed a some teenagers working out with some horse in a public area. They told me that their family had started a foundation to save horses that would otherwise be abandoned or put down. (http://thedivinelight.org/THANKYOU.aspx) The young men let me take their photos and even did some impressive tricks for me. Here are the little paintings I did from those photos.

The woman talking was aware of only the audience of one. While I could not understand her French, I was like a third evesdropper, observing the other audience member's displeasure.

Tourists 16 X 12

I was helped with this one by Vicente Herrero, who very generously gave me tips on some alterations I could make to make the focus of the painting stronger. I may make some more adjustments, but I think this is basically done.
