“I had the honor of portraying Gunner several times in his life. Seeing my 2011 portrait celebrating his memory in the center of his stall after his death was the greatest honor of my career.

Smart Spook and I spent twenty minutes alone in his paddock at sunset in a hot Texan summer. If I look at his close-up, as he looks to his left, I can’t avoid to think that that look simply says everything there is to say about the beauty of the Quarter Horse breed.”
