Whether I continue and do the inner four planets, the Galilean Moons, Titan, and how I will handle Pluto, is still up in the air. That turned out so well I went on and did the other three Gas Giants. I had wanted to try doing horses as representations of the planets, and began with Jupiter as an experiment. " The event is so well run I have to say. I've done a lot of cool things over the years, things like the Wembley Cup, and what we've done in football, but this has been run amazingly, with a mixture of talent involved.These four paintings were done in October and November of 2013 for an art show at Midwest FurFest (where they all sold, happily). "If I can go and hit some home runs in front of big crowds and get all that content captured on film and then show him, I'll be pretty proud of that.
