Today's Equine Art - Olympus Way To Go
Murphy is a sport Morgan stallion owned by Kathleen Reiman. This portrait in oil pencil is 12 x 15". I hope it does some justice to his memory.
Thank you so much Nancy! It is a wonderful rendering of Murphy. He will always be in my heart. Now I just have to find a special place to hang it! Kathy
