Don Pratt's Art Folio, Sheridan Junior High, 1938-39 orange box And those extra large hooves

And those extra large hooves on the horse are pretty fantastic too

who went out gathering the seaweed herself to add to the collection here--freedom for her

and banded sgraphitto (incised) decoration around the shoulders

and a patina that makes one feel it was prized and used

Don Pratt's Art Folio, Sheridan Junior High, 1938-39 orange box And those extra large hoovesI can never leave folios of school drawings like this behind even as some of the exercises featured have become familiar to me from having handled a number of them, each remains very much its own special thing. This one was the work of a Don Pratt at Sheridan Junior High, 1938 39; I found it in Maine, but I only turn up references to a Sheridan Junior High in Sheridan, Wyoming, so maybe it had already travelled quite a ways to arrive in my hands.
