When Mark Arthur gave this to his wife she cried. About a month ago he provided to me a vintage circa 1976 photo of he and his wife on their horses riding in a parade in Ohio. His request was to paint he and his wife on their horses but instead of a parade, make the setting the moutains that both he and his wife love. "I want to give this as a gift to Joyce for her birthday." Wow, I thought; what a thoughtful gift! He said they both loved the moutains, their horses, which they actually no longer have, but they often dreamed together of having a little cottage in the moutains where they could ride their horses again.
