I am very pleased to let you all know that Le Cadeau Du Cheval – The Horse Gift, is scheduled for its official US unveiling on Friday, October 9, 2008, at The Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio.

A stunning collaborative mural combining 187 of some of the finest equine artists from around the world, this unique project is now complete and will begin to tour the world. I was fortunate enough to have been able to participate in this unique, international event. The image you see with this blog is my 16″ x 16″ contribution, Windswept.

I have put together blog entries and other notes on the creation of Windswept on a single page on my web site, where visitors can see the step-by-step painting process.

The Quarter Horse Congress runs from October 9 through October 26 this year. I am uncertain how long the mural will be in attendance, but if you are in the area, stop and take a look. Those who have seen it in person have been wowwed by its size and scope.

For those of us who love the ‘behind the scenes’ stuff, you will be interested in Phil Alain’s blog, Mural Mosaic and a Night of Artists describing the set up for the Mural at the Quarter Horse Congress location.
