Carol's Birthday / Little Enis
Artist: Georgia Henkel
Sponsor: Paul and Carol Kaplan

Little Enis was a local rockabilly singer who always travelled with his go-go girls. Here they all are on the back of a pink zebra with fringed hooves! The sponsor was not very happy with his wife's choice of subject so he gave it to her for her birthday and renamed it. They used to say Elvis has his pelvis but Enis has his penis and he was billed as "one hunnert an' 80 lbs of dynamite with a 9-inch fuse"!

Nice pasture scene on the side of a gazing stallion.

More symbolism about slavery and African American culture than you can shake a stick at!


Black-Eyed Susan

Sponsor: Physician's Eye Center, Dr. Doug Back

Kind of ironic that this colorful guy is sponsored by an eye doctor.

Classy looking horse done in honor of the Chinese exhibit at the International Museum of the Horse.
