"Most children wish for a pony...some are lucky enough to experience the love of a horse...daddy's gift to them...the look of pure joy on the little one's face when they see the pony...is their gift back"

 

"This painting is an emotional painting for me ....a father bringing home a surprise...followed closely by the loyal border collie. The models for this painting were partially from life, partial memories...the dog was my father's border collie Gyp."

-Marsha Njos Lehmann
