Janene Grende said that her painting The Instructor is close to her heart. “It’s one of our Pony Club kids getting some instruction from our main Pony Club teacher,” she said. “We really care about the well-being of both youth and their horses in our club. We love to see them come in as little ones eager to learn and as the years go by graduate them with competent horse skills.”
A professional artist, Grende usually produces works with wildlife and avian subjects, however, she’s been doing more equine topics in recent years.
