Well I am in love with this little painting. I often feel sorry for these carriage horses; those long days on the pavement. But I was surprised to see many of these park horses anxious to work. They pulled hard, wanted to move faster, and really seemed to enjoy it. Maybe they understand what a special tour they give their passengers.
Gorgeous painting. Love the brushwork

ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely painting! Love the light play in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat city was your subject in? Because it sure looks like my husband's horse! We own a carriage at Central Park here in NYC, and he's a dapple grey with a red harness pad!
And your instincts are correct - most of the horses really enjoy their jobs, they get into it. Even the ones who don't enjoy the daily carrots :-)
I have been in the business almost 30 years, rest assured they have good lives, including vacations in PA :-)
Thanx again for sharing a beautiful painting.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your email! It could very well be your horse! I photographed him (?) at Central Park West. And its really nice to hear about the horses lives. They are such amazing animals.
