Hall WR#2

  The drawing I found unique was the "black and red horse". This painting was described as Great! Which I understand, since it was the only complete drawing and only two colored painting on the left hand side. Why was this horse two colors? Maybe its hair reflected sunlight and seemed to change colors to the people who drew it. This horse had to have some importance to the artist because of the way it was created. The head bwas created with a spray technique while the rest of the body the hooves, lower body, tail and back side were created with a brush. The blurred contours of the thighs were made this way, too. According to the information I read, I believe this horse could have been an older "family pet," instead of a horse they used to go out and hunt. It looks pretty fat and the person obviously had some type of connection with it. I believe the horse may have passed away and this was a sign of respect and some memory of it. I find this picture interesting because it makes you think about the back story.
