Two Paints in On Blog

[Karen Brenner]

Sara nominated her Paint horse, Hot Streak, for the Beautiful Horses of Michigan project writing, "She's a big girl but is truly a doll....Her beautiful coloring and wonderful talent catch attention from everyone -- in the showring and out." Sarah also told me that her 4-H club had voted Hot Streak the "prettiest horse," beating out 50 other horses.

You can see from the painting above, Hot Streak deserved that honor!

But wait....there's more.... while I was in Sarah's pasture photographing Hot Steak, the family's other horses wanted in on the action. They all wanted glamour shots! They were running around together having a ball while I snapped photos. Hot Streak had to herded into a separate pasture so I could concentrate just on her. But I couldn't help notice the other beautiful Paint in the herd. The mare was Lady and belonged to Sarah's sister. So when Sarah's mom declared that if one daughter's horse was going to be painting, she thought I should also paint the other daughter's horse as well -- it didn't take any time at all to convince me...... Here's Lady's painting.

These are paintings #20 & 21 in my "Beautiful Horses of Michigan" series. Click here to see all the paintings completed so far.
