"ALMOST HOME" - NEW ORIGINAL OIL
ONCE UPON A TIME in a place called Llano Quemado (suburban Truchas, New Mexico), I lived on a horse ranch high in the mountains overlooking the Espanola Valley. One spring a man from Santa Fe brought five pregnant mares to board at the ranch, along with a "How to Foal" instruction book. My favorite was a huge white Arabian named Radiant Wind. Away from the main ranch house there was a horse barn and a small apartment attached to the foaling stall. Late one night I watched her give birth to a beautiful black colt...what joy!
"Almost Home" - (30"x30" Original Oil on Fine Artist's Canvas - framed in gold with linen liner) is the view from the edge of the small village of Rio Chiquito. From that little back road I would reconnect with the Truchas highway -- home to the ranch, usually at sunset.
Now being exhibited at MC LARRY FINE ART GALLERY, 225 Canyon Road, Santa Fe, N.M. (505) 988-1161.
