Painting Name: No One Can Teach Riding So Well As A Horse
Like cats, there are certain favorite animals I have to, or had to, paint. This is my first horse painting in about a zillion years. I like how he turned out.

What Brought About this Painting?
The name for this painting came from this quote:
“No one can teach riding so well as a horse.” - C.S. Lewis
I did like this horse quote as well, but "A Large and Liquid Eye..." didn't quite feel right for the name. That sounds more like a whale maybe.
“A large and liquid eye… the swirl of dust around pounding hooves… these, then, are the images that move us.” - Author Unknown
I was the typical little girl growing up - CRAZY about horses. Everything horses.
"Horses, horses, horses" (line from the movie "Sleepless In Seattle"). Horse books, seeing horses, drawing horses, a few early paintings of horses and even horse racing (can you say Secretariat?).
I was thinking it was high time to get a horse painting on record!
This is a larger canvas than my typical works so far, it's 18 by 24 by 1.50 - a gallery-wrapped heavy duty canvas. It looks pretty good on my green wall too!
I would keep this painting but it is bigger than my house (kidding, but not, it's 18x24 inches). So "No One Can Teach Riding So Well As A Horse" is looking for just the right home of another horse lover.
