When the Minneapolis Institute of Art hosted a few pieces from the Chinese Terracotta Army -- an astonishing archaeological find of thousands of 2,200 year-old-full-sized human and animal sculptures -- no photographs were permitted in the Army Gallery.
There was, however, a brass horse in the hall just outside, I photographed it, and made two templates: 9x12 and 11x14. My Chinese Horse Army consisted of 2 painted stained glass horses, a single "ghost" horse, 2 cave horses, 1 green tiny random shapes horse, and one brown dots horse. They all hung in a show in the Oakdale Library in Oakdale, MN. They were far back from the front door, but their graphic shape made them instantly identifiable as horses.
Watercolor framed under glass.
