"I Took the Train...One Day"
Acrylic 12x24

FKB1195
Baldwin 110 at Canada Crossing
Engine from 1880 Train, Hill City, SD

"I took the train
and for a few hours
I pretended:
It was a one way ticket,
I wasn't coming back,
Maybe I'd write,
Once a week,
Once a month,
Once or twice more.

I'd forget,
and then
One day..."

"Thunderhawk, Sorraia Stallion Portrait"
Acrylic 20x16

FKB1214

The Sorraia is very rare breed of horse. It is one of four progenitor breeds (original wild horses) from which all man bred horses descend. They were almost extinct in Europe and in about 1917 were down to about 11 wild horses in the Sorraia swamps of Portugal. Luckily some of these horses escaped into the wild from Spanish explorers of the 1500s. A small number of breeders in South Dakota captured a few of their descendents and now maintain a preservation program that documents these horses and checks for genetic purity. To date about 300 are known to exist throughout the world. Many of these are in South Dakota. Would you like to more?
