Jumping Bean & April Fire Have Been Painted

Ivy Hill would like to thank Karen Brenner for painting Jumping Bean ("Bean") & April Fire ("April") as part of her project, The Beautiful Horses of Pennsylvania. Last year she put the word out that she was going to be creating The Beautiful Horses of Pennsylvania and we nominated four of our horses. Bean & April were chosen to be painted. Karen came to the farm & photographed them. From there, she created a painting of the two of them together. She finished it last week & posted it on her blog - it's beautiful - be sure to take a look at Karen's website at www.karenbrenner.com/blog.html

The painting of Bean & April will also be on display at the Horse Expo in Allentown on April 10th. If you can make it, be sure to check out her display & see the painting.
