Today’s featured art is Champion by Lorilei Lee
Do you like horses? I do … from a distance. The distance can be as close as standing by them petting them … but not riding one.
Lorilei is a friend of mine - she is a very gifted and talented artist. The detail in this drawing is wonderful … I keep expecting the horse to turn it’s head and neigh at me any minute.
I think I would prefer a black mat to frame this drawing in a black frame - I think the drawing would then just pop off the wall and grab people.
But the white mat does give an illusion of additional depth so it too is a good choice. At Imagekind, you can choose the frame and mat that you like best with your Fine Art Print.

Today’s featured art is White Jumper by Brandi Jasmine
Seeing this carousel horse picture reminded me of when I was a kid in Iowa. We all probably remember riding a Carousel - some have good memories while others may not. A friend of mine from my childhood got sick riding on one and would never get on one again!
The amusement park was named Riverview. It had a large gorgeous (to my child’s eyes anyway) Merry-Go-Round Carousel. It had a white jumper similar but different to this one - it was my favorite to ride - it went up and down as the carousel would turn and I felt like Dale Evans from the Roy Rogers TV Show.
It is a gorgeous picture and the white mat in a black frame sets it off beautifully … but what is missing to me is the pole … some people love to see the horses without the pole and then some like me miss it being there.
This would be a great gift for anyone who collects carousel horses.
To claim my blog, I needed to write a post to insert Technorati code and a gorgeous white jumper Carousel horse seemed like the perfect way to start my Sunday morning - remembering a favorite childhood memory - I still ride the Carousel at the Mall - it is still wonderful - Barbara Burns Technorati Profile - I hope you enjoy this lovely fine art print as much as I did this morning!
