Rose's Turbo


His real name is Ebony's Southern Perfection. I have painted this horse for a friend who rides him as much as she can. This seems to be the year of the animal for me. I have painted a swan, three camels, and now a horse. I did ride as a child and took lessons to jump as an adult. I paid for the lessons with an old wedding gown from a failed marriage. So I do know and love horses, I guess that counts for something! I will be painting a spotted dog soon for another friend. Watercolor
