I have played around with a number of styles of horse images and this one emerged my favorite. It looks a little like a woodcut and has a lot of texture and action.
The frame was made of mesquite by a local craftsman. Many view mesquite trees as a nuisance, but they have the ability to survive all kinds of trauma and find water where there appears to be none. PLUS, mesquite smoked barbecue is Heaven sent. AND since the wood is so hard, it makes beautiful furniture, cutting boards and great firewood that burns hot and long. This frame is a true example of taking a sow's ear and turning it into a silk purse!
