"Remembering Ole Bill..."

"Remembering Ole Bill..."

Uploaded: April 26, 2003

Description

When I was 12 y.o. and went to boarding school I learned how to ride.There were all the fancy horses and then there was "Bill",a old plow horse they just boarded.I picked Bill with his soft chocolate brown eyes and his huge hooves.My legs barely came to half way down his enormous sides...his head was too big,and he was terribly sway back...but he was all heart and I fell in love with him...This photo reminds me of Bill...

Great horse portrait Suzie. I love the sepia tone and the dark contrast of the background! - Gunther #32599

Why thank you Gunther...it was the first time I EVER tried "coloring" on a photo....there was bright, glaring light in the background...it was alittle hard to do his lower jaw and harness hook...esp. in the center of the hook...lol..thank you for commenting!:~)))Have a good week! #89156
