Fixing Barbaro


Fixing Barbaro
Ruella Yates
24" x 36" Acrylic, Brass, Brass Wire, and Paper Collage on Canvas
This painting was intended to be a Spirit Horse painting, without collage, when Barbaro's race ended tragically. With reporters speculating whether he could be saved to stand at stud, I went to the hardware store for materials and "fixed" him. Here's to Barbaro, and all his gallant ancestors, and hopefully, descendants! ~Ruella
