Exclamation
“He fell a Trotting, and Winsing, and Yerking, and Calcitrating
Alias Kicking, and Curveting, and Bounding,
and Springing and Galloping full drive,
as if the Devil had come for him in propia persona.”
~ Francois Rabelais
THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
This pastel is a style I call a Spirit Sketch and was created of one of my favorite models, the Arabian stallion Destiny’s Avenger. I witnessed and photographed Avenger in 1988 and he put on an incredible solo performance for me, knowing full well that I was his worshipful audience.
