the horse gift

...Suddenly into the sunny green and blue came two brown horses with flowing black manes and tails, trotting side by side in harness. Their brown flanks and shoulders gleamed in the sunshine, their slender legs stepped daintily, their necks were arched and their ears pricked up, and they tossed their heads as they went by... "Oh, what beautiful horses!" Laura cried. -By the Shores of Silver Lake, Chapter 28, "Moving Day"

A couple of months ago, I blogged about the mural-in-progress, Le Cadeau Du Cheval, and how artist Lee Michelson was inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" books to paint Almanzo Wilder's Morgan horses, Prince and Lady.

LOOK! Michelson's contribution, panel 101, is finished. Isn't it beautiful? You can check on the progress of the entire mural here:
