24 x 18 Acrylic on canvas board derived from the inner energy of horses unseen externally but imagined by us mere mortals.
Works by Meagan Mcgrath
Meagan titled this piece "The Parrot"
Meagan titled this piece "The Good Shepherd tending his sheep"
I was in Ottawa Canada from June 26th thro July 2nd and had the pleasure to meet Meagan Mcgrath. She is the 9 year old daughter of my wife cousin. She is an amazing young lady and stands 48 inches high but with a personality as big as Ottawa itself, despite being wheelchair bound she remains happy, positive, funny and her own self and as you can see from th artwork has a good sense of color and design. I like to see the art work created by children as they have a freedom and spontaniety that adults are often unable to show. She is a life lesson to all of us.

Palominos
24 x 18 Acrylic and charcoal on canvas board derived from horses in the Kansas wind which is an average of 13 miles per hour all year round. The grasses blowing in the wind look like a sea blowing across the plains.
Tempest III - Horse
24 x 18 Acrylic on canvas board derived from thoughts had when being around the horses at the Red Barn. The energy quietly harnessed and the tolerance shown and angelic qualities when being asked to perform tasks that they are sometimes uncomfortable with, we could learn a lot from horses.
