An original oil painting with a horse in saddle standing in a farmyard and thatched shelter, by the fantastic artist John F. Herring Jr. He devoted his career to imitating his father’s work, particularly farmyard scenes. Interestingly, since both artists used the same name and initials on their paintings, their work is often confused.

He devoted his career to imitating his father’s work, particularly farmyard scenes. Interestingly, since both artists used the same name and initials on their paintings, their work is often confused.
