Title
New Friends Zach Meets His Match
Artist
Conni Schaftenaar
Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
White Percheron gelding makes a friend of a little girl, watercolor on paper by Conni Schaftenaar.
Zach, the Percheron gelding, was bred by us on our West Michigan farm a number of years ago and sold to some people in Indiana, who are now good friends. Last winter, they sent a photo of Zach leaning down to let a toddler pet his nose. The photo was taken in their barn and the horse was leaning out over his stall door, but I chose to place the adorable pair in an outdoor winter scene. I painted this to give as a gift to them this Christmas.
A couple other images (photos) of Zach are on my gallery, which I took all those years ago when we delivered him to Indiana when he was a yearling colt and was still coal black, as Percherons are when they are going to go dappled gray over the years.
I thought the image of this huge horse gently bending to let a 2-year-old little girl stroke his nose was just wonderful, and I hope you enjoy my interpretation of the scene!
