Cholla the horse that paints

Some of them are beautiful! Remind me of freeform shodō.

I love Cholla!

Very very cool! His paintings look every bit as good as the ‘modern art’ you see in galleries everywhere.

Does anyone remember the painting elephant?

I know there was a lot of controversy because it was a ‘trained behavior’, but trained or not, that elephant was THINKING about every brush stroke, even went back and re-traced some that weren’t dark enough to suit him/her.

Animals are flat out amazing.

How about the painting cats, while we’re at it?

I know someone who has that as a coffee table book. It’s very good. And had me suckered for about 15 minutes.
