Animals ON Paper and CANVAS

In the early days, long before websites and cell phones, I took a year away from studies to chase a romantic dream of working with horses in Lexington, Kentucky.  I get a job at the most prestigious standardbred horse breeding farm of the day, Almahurst Farm. I signed on for the annual round up and breaking of the yearlings. It took three-months of dedicated work to turn those wild babies into civilized horses, beautifully groomed, and ready for auction. 
As the auction date approached, I spent most of my nights and weekends drawing the prettiest yearlings in pencil on paper,  then fastened each drawing to cardboard, and wrapped the paper sandwich in Glad Wrap for viewing alongside the auction stalls with a price marked at $25/each. By a twist of fate, I still have the drawing of a colt named 
Fireball Almahurst.  He must have done well, because his bloodline is still found online of track horses today.
