An artist chooses his subjects: that is the way he praises. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Will amend something I said in the last post: it is entirely possible that the an animal shown was not a favorite! The Belle in this painting was an ex-race horse/broodmare that my husband wanted to play polo. Temperamentally these two were not a match and Belle went off to become coddled by a little girl. This is not an elaborate composition, I wanted to keep the tone subdued, it is a quiet moment that could happen around any stable, any where.
