Say Hello to My Little Friend

Here's a last photo of he Botero horse located in the lobby of the Central Library in downtown San Antonio.

A sculpture by Colombian artist Fernando Botero. Titled “Caballo tamaño grande,” the bronze displayed on the first floor of the Central Library is a gift of the foundation. - mySA.com

Someone told me that this is the sinister side of the horse. It actually appears to be smiling but you can't really tell from this side. He's got a plump little tail and I see people touch it as they pass by. Maybe in a few years it will have a little patina from the touch of so many hands.

I'd like to see the horse decorated for occasions, seasons and holidays. For the Kentucky Derby it could be draped with a flower wreathe. :D
