There's something so enticing about the idea of just heading off with no plan of where your going, just a desire to see what's around that next bend. Perhaps a bit romantic in comparison to the reality but still!! :)Wayward Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385850766260854616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-54103051842611601432012-10-14T22:15:43.206+01:002012-10-14T22:15:43.206+01:00It's interesting that the white horse in "...It's interesting that the white horse in "The Gypsy Camp" is in almost precisely the same stance as the one in "Gypsy Horses." There is also a brown horse with a white star on its forehead in both of them. Odd coincidence (?).<br /><br />If I were going to lead the gypsy life style, I would have to get rid of a whole lot of possessions. I have way too many books and art supplies to haul around. There's something freeing about the idea of having so few possessions... until you're sitting there trying to figure out how to paint an entire painting with one round brush.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147916047948858714noreply@blogger.com
