Commission"

8-5-04 "Hello Kay - It's been a little crazy with moving,
traveling, and all, but I wanted to drop you a line on the polo program.
We have had many complements on the program this year - the cover
specifically. Players can be very particular about polo art because there
always seems to be something not quite right about the tack, the pony, the
player, etc. "Obsession" is almost a polo lesson in and of itself. The
players are in position, the subject player is beginning a swing with
perfect form - hard to do and hard even to photograph - can't imagine
getting it right in oil. He's also balanced and is not "in the pony's
mouth" with the bit. Such a great piece, and we're fortunate to have it as
the cover this year. Thanks again." - T Lott, Lexington, KY
