Painting Horses at the Hudson Regional Library

Saturday, March 15 Patrons at the Hudson Regional Library were treated to a fun program with Juliet, a pinto Paso Fino mare and her people Cheryl Ward and Sam Sharnik. Juliet is just one of four horses that paint in the Ward/Sharnik household. Each horse has their own distinct painting style – Romeo, a Paso Fino gelding paints in deliberate, delicate strokes, while Juliet paints in broad strokes with lots of strong colors. Examples of her work and pictures of the lovely Juliet are below.

Juliet and Romeo will also make an appearance at the New River Library in Zephyrhills on Saturday, April 19 @ 1PM. Their books, DVDs, and artwork will be available for purchase!
