A self-taught specialist in painting equine and animal subjects, the Ontario-based Shantz, upon hearing of Wake at Noon's demise, dug out an old photo of him taken on Queen's Plate Day almost exactly a decade ago, and used it for reference in crafting her tribute.
If you aren't familiar with her work (a bit hard to believe if you're a diehard racing fan) and/or haven't visited her blog, you're missing out. So, take this opportunity to get caught up, and to see her handsome homage to a courageous champion.
Thanks Glenn! That was very kind of you! (no 'c' in the last name, though!) :-)
ReplyDeleteMy apologies, Linda. And I knew better, that's what's odd. I saw your comment for approval from my phone and thought: "No C? Of course no C? ... Must have flubbed one." ... But I flubbed ALL of them.
ReplyDeleteThen I couldn't correct the post from the phone. I could correct the headline and the tags, but couldn't get a cursor in the right spot or navigate the text from the phone to fix those in the body. So I just took this down for awhile, until I could get back on WiFi with the laptop at a McDonald's in ... ummm ... wherever this is in Virginia. Just past Woodbridge or so.
Again, my apologies, and the picture is beautiful. I don't know how you paint something like that so quickly.
Well at least you were consistent with the flub! :-) Thanks again.
