Photo to Painting
11″ x 14″ oil on canvas panel
Original sold

I guess I must have got a photo of that, some time or another. I probably took it, I imagine. That’s over there by where the grapes used to be planted. There’s a little tree there. I thought it was kind of cute that she was looking in between something. There was a post there and the tree. 

This horse used to compete on competitive trail with a little girl riding her. And then they had to sell her and a student of mine wanted a horse and I told him about this horse but she was kind of high priced. He took riding lessons from me and he would ride PooBear sometimes. They had to move and had to sell PooBear. They wanted me to have her. I said, well I can’t pay what you paid for her. I’ll see what they’re selling at the auction. I think I paid $600 for her. She came with a saddle, horse tank, and all kinds of stuff. All of her equipment. They were moving and wanted met to have her.

I had her for quite a while. I rode her on several competitive rides. She always did well for me. She was a nice little horse. (My granddaughter) Michelle used to ride her some too.

She came down with West Nile Fever. Kind of a sad ending. “I won’t get out of this world alive” – I think that’s the song Hank Williams wrote!
