"Frankie" is for Amy, who commissioned the painting for her mother. Frankie is a 23-year-old chestnut, Canadian Warmblood Sport Horse. According to Amy's mom, "calm" is the best adjective to describe him. Does he look calm in the portrait? I think he does.
Frankie is a rescue horse. Although her family think he is perfect, he is not, physically speaking. He has only one eye (his right one); his left eye is sewn closed. He is big (about 17 hands) and a bit thin. Fortunately over the past 8 months, he has gained some weight.
It is easy to love someone or some thing beautiful, adorable, cute, handsome, etc. It takes a big heart and true love of animals to adopt and take care of a disabled, malnourished horse who was probably abused. I thank you, Amy's mom, for giving a second chance and happy retirement to Frankie.
My brother and I commissioned Frankie's portrait for our Mom for Christmas. We were so excited to stumble upon such a unique and thoughtful gift. My Mom was equally thrilled- she told everyone at the barn about her gift!
ReplyDeleteI had never commissioned a painting before so I was not sure what to expect. Kim made the process so easy- she is extremely responsive, great with suggestions and almost lightning quick!
And most importantly, I think she has captured Frankie's spirit. I can't wait for my Mom to receive her painting- she will be tickled pink!
Thank you Kim for helping my brother and me give such a special gift to our Mom.
Amy :-)
Thank you, Amy!
