| Detail from The Milbanke and Melbourne Families by Stubbs |
My family had the opportunity to travel to England in early December. We were only there for a week, but we managed to see some wonderful sites, not least of which was the National Gallery. So many lovely pieces by world renowned artists. Here are pictures of the equine paintings I was able to capture, which is just a fraction of the photos I took. So much inspiration. I hope that you enjoy the journey through these photos. Be sure to scroll to the end!
