About the Work
"I
don’t
have
anything
erudite
to
say
about
this
painting.
As
a
child
I
loved
horses
more
than
anything.
When
my
family
came
to
visit
my
grandmother
in
the
school
holidays,
driving
all
the
way
from
West
Auckland
with
five
of
us
packed
into
a
Morris
Minor
convertible,
we
nearly
always
went
to
visit
Uncle
Jim
(James
Alp)
at
the
Sarjeant.
It
was
torture,
which
was
only
relieved
by
seeing
this
beautiful
painting.
It
must
have
been
a
favourite
because
it
always
seemed
to
be
on
display."
