One of the great things about art is that you can take images from the mind and put them on paper.
I have no photos of UC Ringmaster as a foal, so my drawings of him as a youngster is my imagination hard at work. I have to admit--it is a very emotional process. I have to open my heart and allow the images and feelings to tell my pencil where to go to create the fuzzy foal ears, big, bright eyes and the swift legs of the baby UC Ringmaster. He was the foal that caused hearts to flutter as soon as he entered the world, a future two-time World Champion.
When I draw UC Ringmaster, I look right back at him and I miss him.
