Close Encounters of the Equine Kind March 23, 2015

A few weekends ago, I arrived to find someone leaning against my horse fence on Route One and snapping a few photos of the pasture view across to the Inverness Ridge.  It was an artist who was scoping out a place for her collective, the BayWood Artists, to meet for a day of plein-air painting in preparation for their next Point Reyes National Seashore Association exhibition. I said, “Certainly, I’m happy to have you paint here.” What a treat for me!  

Two weeks later she set up her easel and paints, and before long the horses came by to see what was up. One of them was particularly persistent, nuzzling against her, threatening to sample the oils on her palette, and I, in turn, took a few photos of the two of them.  She said it was one of her happiest moments painting. Excellent!
