Description
I was commissioned to paint a Bay Roan Quarter Horse that was in Paso Robles by my friend, Karen. Not knowing much about horses I had to look up what that description meant. The American Quarter Horse became popular in races, especially as it beat pure Thoroughbreds in short races, such as the quarter mile. Its predominance in quarter-mile races is actually the reason why it is called the Quarter Horse. The American Quarter Horse is well known both as a race horse and for its performance in rodeos, horse shows and as a working ranch horse.
Bay is a hair coat color of horses, characterized by a brown body color with a black mane, tail, ear edges, and lower legs. The black areas of a bay horse's hair coat are called "black points", and without them, a horse cannot be considered a bay horse. Horses with roan coats have white hairs evenly intermingled throughout any other color.
This 22” X 15” watercolor was painted on Arches, 140 lb, rough paper.
