Very beautiful piece. WOW !

Artist Reply: Betsy, that saddle before I messed with it just shone brighter then the sun and the Hispanic guy that made it was like a light himself. He loved his work so much. Thanks so much for your kind words. They are really appreciated. Michael

this i somehow missed and is exceptional. wow Michael im impressed

Artist Reply: Jamie, it is so ironic that you are the 3rd person in 5 days to comment on this piece and 4th this month. It has been buried since Jan. Thank you so much and I had fun doing this. Loving horseback riding and saddles goes hand in hand but I do love the fancy ones and hand crafted ones. I have a small collection of phographs of these hand made Mexican Saddles and went I get lonely for that smell of a great horse back ride I take them out and look. Thanks so much for your comments and your great friendship. I am so stunned by your new work. Michael

What a nice abstract Miguel!

Artist Reply: Olga, my friend, thank you so much for your comment. The photograph of the image was against a beat old building and dirt all over beneath the great silver saddle and so I started messing with the background and got carried away a bit. I am so please that you liked it. My gratitude to you for always being so kind. Michael
