Remembering Black Beauty

When I saw this vignette in the barn at Kuerner Farm it immediately brought me back to reading Black Beauty as a child.  It was a terribly violent and cruel story a a horse and his many masters! Luckily it had a happy ending and that’s what I was reminded of when I saw this scene! 

I’m in a painting group offered by well known artist, Karl Kuerner!

Karl, a friend and student of the Wyeths, inspires his students in the bucolic setting of his family farm (now a National Historic Landmark)!

The Wyeth family of artists, including N.C. Wyeth, Carolyn, Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth and others, is very prominent in Chadds Ford, PA and their art is shown in numerous major museums.
