Sheryl Hibbs, owner of Artreach Gallery in Germantown, TN is the featured artist of the Germantown Charity Horse Show. Her painting “Center of Attention” is the center of attention on this year’s Germantown Charity Horse Show (GCHS) program. She is donating the original painting to be auctioned at the horse show, which benefits the Exchange Club Family Center. No posters are being offered for sale this year, so if patrons of the show want a copy of the art work, they will need to purchase a program.
The painting was inspired by a photograph taken by Gail Ray, an artist who has recently been painting at the Artreach Gallery. “She has Thoroughbred race horses in Kentucky and she had lots of photos of horses that she had taken. I looked through them and I particularly liked this one (from which the painting was done). I liked the way the horse was standing, the anticipation represented in the image, like horse and rider are getting ready to do their thing in a show. It could be any horse, any rider. It captures the essence of being in the spotlight at the show,” Sheryl explained. The photo was taken at the annual Junior League horse show in Lexington, Kentucky. Gail is also a photographer and an ER doctor who loves horses and spends her spare time with them. You can see more of Gail’s water color paintings of horses at: http://www.facebook.com/artbygailray
Artreach Gallery will have a booth at the Germantown Charity Horse Show, where Sheryl will be available to autograph patrons’ programs. She is also offering 10% off any item purchased at the booth during the horse show. Just tell her the Mid-South Horse Review sent you!
