Running on One Tree Hill


Another very photo-realistic piece, but I wanted to paint this image, and feel it needs the specificity.
The image is my thoroughbred mare Calliope (aka Calli), at one of my favorite and relatively unknown places here in Chatham. That is me chasing her. I have witnessed so many great horse scenes up on this hill. The very first time I let her into this 12-acre field she took off at a huge gallop and circled at least five times.Now I realize that could have been a disaster.
A personal favorite that I cannot let go of for less than $850.

I love this! It's so you, and such a great story about a girl and her horse. Another great job.
