11 by 14 inch watercolor portrait quarter horse |
This is a portrait of a 23 year old quarter horse, named Moxie. Moxie was a very accomplished show horse in his day, and is now retired and lives with Jenni, living the life every horse dreams of. He spends long days outside in the fields with his friends, comes inside at night to a warm and clean stall. He is groomed and ridden regularly and has lots of good food and fresh hay. Don't you wish they all had such a life when they finish their hard working days?
Beautiful job on Moxie's portrait! I'm glad he is having such great retirement!
