Old Paint Paints

Now that I have branched out in my interests from fashion into art, I thought I'd point you at this AP article on a horse, Cholla, who paints. That would be interesting enough, but the art critic's response was even more interesting.

John Yimin, an art lover and critic, wrote on his Web site: "The brush stroke Cholla uses to get his vision down on paper ... the watercolor's dance ... and especially the fascinating completion of the works ... Cholla clearly grabs me and holds me as I watch him paint with the fire of Pollock and fixed gaze of Resnick."

Considering someone paid as much as $2200 for Chollo's artwork, training your horse to paint would seem like a more profitable venture than its close cousin, cow plop bingo.
