I was always one of those young girls totally crazy about horses. I read every horse book and spent many happy hours galloping around fields holding a piece of rope (my reins). When I got married I had my first opportunity to own a horse. I lived, breathed and loved horses for many years. I rode across the state of Michigan as a trail rider, studied and showed in dressage at both the state and national level, and bred and raised several foals. It was a wonderful time in my life. I do not have horses now....but they still hold a warm place in my heart. Horses have personalities and express many emotions. Their eyes are so soft and expressive.....I have always loved close-up photos of equine eyes. I decided to paint an equine eye. I spent the time painting this piece reliving many memories. If you have ever spent time with horses I hope this painting brings your memories to life as well!
