'A Moment' Explained

Here is my lovely horse. People wonder why this name.  I named him 'A Moment' because I painted it as if he paused in his movements just long enough to acknowledge you, for you to see his beauty, then, I am sure, he will go on with his business.

If you look closely, you will note that the brush strokes in the background are entirely diff rent, showing lots of movement and upset.  The air moves around him, co ti using to move as he stops.  A moment.
