(The staple-free edges are painted black allowing you to display this piece unframed if you like.)

Peanut Butter recalls one summer in my childhood when I convinced my parents to indulge my love for horses and send me to horse camp.  I rode a bus to the middle of nowhere and spent two weeks with a bunch of strangers in awful heat with no air-conditioning and lots of bugs.  I was assigned to care for (and ride) a sad old horse named Peanut Butter.  My new horse friend and I stuck together.  I hated horse camp and so did Peanut Butter.  Camp was the end of my horse phase.  I think my next obsession was Duran Duran.
