I am calling this piece “Hope.” Two weeks ago I was driving toward a mountaintop waterhole and the sun began to rise. As it peeked over the hill I could see a family of wild horses standing in front of the rising sun. And suddenly I heard the thunder of hooves – many hooves! There was a huge group of …

Two Andalusian stallions who are brothers and friends come close together as they are playing in an arena in Spain. This image has won many awards in juried art shows …
