i certainly understand the brain pain part. a lady friend of mine sent me that same painting over the internet once because she knew i was a horse lover. i have an appaloosa.
i had been out with friends the night before and was still under the alfluence of incohol when i opened up the email and there was that picture. took a few minutes to get my wits together before i could decipher the picture. i was impressed when i finally figured it out. it's beautiful. i had a blown up version done for me and it hangs in my living room. us cowpokes are strange folks.
i named my appy dan, after the horse in the song "the blizzard" by jim reeves. i hope we don't end up that way. he and my dog fritz have really gotten to be good friends. they take off across the prairie and just have a ball. they work in tandem bird hunting, soon as fritz locks up ol' dan starts pussy footing cause he knows fritz has a bird cornered. the three of us make a pretty good team.
i have to investigate ms. doolittle a bit further. see what else she has to offer.
if you like western art give ol' charles russell a try. i still think he was and is the best of the western artists. he could do a painting of a bunch of cowpokes doing a round up and branding and you could actually smell the hair burning by looking at the painting. such realism. and he was a real cowboy.
happy trails
