    A few years ago, I created a series of foal drawings for the Art for the Heart Gala at The Arts Center in Corvallis. One piece didn’t make it because I didn’t have enough time to meet the deadline, and since then I completely forgot about it.

    Last year, as I was packing and sorting everything for the move to the new place, it briefly reminded about itself, but so much was happening at once that only now I finally had time to finish it. Just in time for the upcoming “Annual Color Show: Green” show at the Keizer Art Association!

    This little foal is looking for a loving home. The rest of the series has been sold, but reproductions are available:
