Queen Anne´s Lace

“Neither the mare nor I had ever experienced the thrill of being around a foal before,” says artist Bonnie Marris. Bonnie has raised horses for twenty-five years, but it wasn't until last year that she experienced her first foal. “This adventure in motherhood proved exciting to both of us and we ended up loving it so much! There’s a wonderful glowing softness in their nuzzling, a warmth and purity that comes only from learning to mother. The delicate, lacy flowers which give the painting its title add a gentle, caressing feeling to the composition.”
