UC Ringmaster print


UC Ringmaster, 2013. 9" x 9" watercolor and ink on Arches hot-press watercolor paper. Copyright Helen Scanlon.

This is an illustration for The Great Red Horse, and I am offering it as a print ahead of the book's publication. A portion of the proceeds will go to the University of Connecticut's Morgan Horse program, in memory of UC Ringmaster.

UConn has kept the Government-bred Morgan horse alive, and with the money raised from the print, you and I will be doing our part to help keep their breeding program going strong. The funds can go to supplies like tack and halters, or to medications, or to student materials for the classroom. UConn's Equine programs generate their own revenue each year--and this is a way for the memory of The Great Red Horse, UC Ringmaster, to help these valuable programs.

My illustration depicts Ring with a tousled mane and a bright eye, just as I remember him. He is framed by a tree gently shedding its autumn colors, and the green hills of UConn are in the background. He loved his home.

Many thanks to you, the University of Connecticut and, of course, the amazing UC Ringmaster.
