They stand stark still focussing their minds and energy on the wood grains of individual planks thus achieving a relaxed state while being totally aware of their environment (much as humans stare into a campfires). Have you ever tried to catch a horse while he, or she, is staring at a barn wall? Not easy! And if you believe this tall tale explanation, I have a national park I will sell you in Montana.<BR/><BR/>It is a wonderful painting of horses doing something we have no rationale explanation for.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for your daily paintings. They keep in touch with NE Oregon that was a part of my personal history for 10 years.<BR/><BR/>RickEJ Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093847228997129640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-89162126674666909072008-06-17T21:06:00.000-07:002008-06-17T21:06:00.000-07:00Thanks Robin, and thanks for coming by.

And the observant artist.<BR/><BR/>I think he's playing shadow puppets.
