The Bay is another resident of Three Rivers Ranch in Capay Valley.  I was struck by the sheer beauty of her coat.  This is a smallish horse, perhaps a mustang.

A quote by Ella Wilcox best describes my motivation for this painting.

"For the wonderful brain of man

However mighty its force

Had never achieved its lordly plan

Without the aid of a horse. "

The Bay measures 30 x 36", acrylic on stretched

canvas.  It, along with giclees and cards, will also go to the Art at the Classic in Nevada City this fall.
