Artwork of the Day: The Two Horses
I saw that today is National Horse Lover Day and I immediately thought of this picture that I took a few years ago. One of the neighbors has these two horse figurines sitting atop his fence, both looking as if they’re sizing each other up. I’ve always appreciated this image. It’s very Texas and it’s also very much the neighborhood. I feel good whenever I walk by and see them up there.
