There is a lot I do to create an image like this but painting is not one of them. The appearance of a painting is a simulation technique of mine that I have for working with photographs. You can see other examples on my Facebook Art Page.

 

Wow! Very nice

It looks like cake icing!

While at first, I felt very sad that Lentenor's career had been "cut short", after some reflection I began to think that if a horse is to have a successful career at stud, the sooner he begins, the better...

I maintain that Respect is the  simple secret of any successful relationship, between husband and wife, child and parent, dog and owner, etc., etc.  When it is missing, the relationship is in trouble...

Announced today that Lentenor's fee will be $7,500 at Calumet. 

Think that is a bargain :-)

In all seriousness, unfortunately I'm afraid $7,500 is too high...especially in the Kentucky market.  Also $20K for Americain??  Maybe in Europe or Australia, but I don't see these speed-crazy breeders forking over $20K for a date with him on a regular basis.

If I had a mare, I'd think $7,500 a bargain, too, for one of Lentenor's babies.

Read the nice article mentioning Lentenor:

While I love both recent photo's of Nicanor and Lentenor, I have to say Nicanor looks a little better :-)

Nicanor knows he's a star

Nicanor always was the rock star brother LOL
