It's good to have this reminder. <br /><br />Steve sculpts critters-- Thanks for the two links, which I investigated and found quite interesting. <br /><br />Scruffy-- Okay, okay.

Lautrec's labor was not in the time he applied the paint, but in the time he spent learning horses before he started this painting.<br /><br />Chris Bennett-- Amen.<br /><br />David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-6643667095776490022013-06-12T12:18:56.062-04:002013-06-12T12:18:56.062-04:00Tom wrote: "In one drawing a horse's ass ...Tom wrote: "In one drawing a horse's ass leads us right to Christ carrying the cross." <br /><br />Durer was a smart man.<br /><br />Anonymous-- I suspect there is no clear dividing line (not just with women but with all people).<br /><br />Donald Pittenger-- I know Stubbs was famous for his knowledge of equine beauty and anatomy, but he clearly was not an ass man.
