Cholla the painting horse - il cavallo pittore

[CraZee131]

Maybe it is just me but I see a lot of birds in his pictures...guess it makes sense it is something he sees every day :-)

[Choccybics]

Who and why didn't like this - 3 weirdos!!!

[giudecca795]

agree. you should see them personally. the watercolors are beautiful indeed!

[sanmorlou]

its beautiful



[FBCedgeworth]

I wish my horse could paint, LOL. But he'd just end up eating the brush...and the canvas.

[giudecca795]

@FBCedgeworth this is why Cholla is so special :)) truly. LOL

[MySleepingSickness]

My god, people think this crap is art?

[FBCedgeworth]

@MySleepingSickness

I bet it's better than what you could do.

There are many different types of art - abstract, literal, performance, etc. These paintings may not be of anything literal, they may just be blobs and squiggles, but they are still beautiful to look at and the viewer can still see shapes and images in them. It's like when we see certain shapes in the clouds.

You can state your opinion (that you don't like the paintings) without insulting others in the process.

[Choccybics]

@MySleepingSickness that is tongue in cheek right?

[lunaliachi]

The stars and planets must have been in the right places when he came into world.He is one of a kind!

[giudecca795]

That's right! please note that the Venice exhibit has been extended to 15 September 2009, by popular demand :)

[maximusdarkultima]

I can feel he is a true artist...

some may say the the painting elephants are better but if you ask me, an an artist, I could say that cholla paints at his own will and is an artist at heart, he doesn't paint because he was trained to do so, nor he is obliged to be fed... he just wanted to paint...

I also see some image in some of his paintings... I'm planning to make actual drawings from his paintings as I see them...

[giudecca795]

maybe :)

[Boomo87]

Genio...

[ernieventnor]

I think he does it just to get fillies....

[giudecca795]

hi Ernie, it does not seem that way. he refuses food while he paints. he is semi-wild, son of a Mustang, and not trained to paint. all other horses would chew and destroy the brush in a minute. he does it because he wants to, ethologists, say. it's a very interesting scientific (and artistic) case, come visit the exhibit! In venice until 15 June, Giudecca795

[DreamsComeMusic]

Grandioso!
