My sister reminded me that when we were children we had two imaginary horses—Silvercane and Sack. Silvercane was my horse. My sister named her horse Sack because she thought it was a very fancy name. We would ride our horses around the park and then get on our bikes and ride home for dinner. This is why I named my painting Silvercane and Sack.
My sister had a human friend who was my dog’s cousin but I don’t recall ever meeting him.
I remember many animals from my childhood, some of them real. I love animals and art. There were many years where both were missing from my life.
