When Neil and Marilyn van Keizerswaard's first race horse, Storm Comin' Through, won it's first race at about 10 to 1 odds, it seemed like an event to memorialize. Marilyn brought a finish-line photograph of Storm and said she'd like to give a painting of the moment to Neil for Christmas.
"It's not going to look like that photograph," I said.
"I know that," she said. "I want you do to your thing."
I sat around for several days wondering what to do with a horse named Storm and a jockey wearing pink. Yeah, he was wearing pink. Then lightening struck.
Merry Christmas, Neil.
I love this.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Holly! I love those reds and blues.
