Richard Stone Reeves, perhaps the greatest modern-day horse painter,
died Oct. 7 at Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport, N.Y. He was
85.
Over the years, Reeves had been commissioned by top owners and breeders
to paint portraits of their horses and his work was published in many
books. The Blood-Horse published several of his works, including "Royal
Blood, Fifty Years of Classic Thoroughbreds" and most recently,
"Belmont Park: A Century of Champions."
Born in New York City, Reeves grew up in Garden City, close to Belmont
Park, where he gained his love of horses as a young boy. His father,
Matthew Sully Reeves, was a descendant of American portrait painter
Thomas Sully, and his mother, Edna Simonson, owned Standardbreds.
A graduate of Syracuse with a degree in Fine Arts, Reeves served in the
U.S. Navy during World War II. Following the war, he began painting,
his portrait of 1947 Horse of the Year Armed appearing in Life magazine
in April 1948. Commissions immediately followed and Reeves painted more
international champions than any artist in history.
While most of his paintings are in the hands of private collectors,
more than a dozen are hanging in the National Museum of Racing and Hall
of Fame. The largest known collection of Reeves paintings is owned by
the Aga Khan.
Reeves is survived by his wife of more than 50 years, Martha; a son,
Richard Stone Reeves Jr.; a daughter, Nine Stone Reeves; and a brother.
Dr. Robert Reeves.

Gosh, Terry... that's only 153 pounds! NineTY stone would be
horse-ish, but gee whiz, give some of us a break! ;)

In Great Britain, 1 stone = 14 pounds. So 9 stone = 126 lbs - not
exactly outrageously heavy for an adult woman.

Not even nearly that much -- nine stone is 126 pounds. That's probably
a bit less than what, say, Jennifer Aniston weighs.

You can take a look at some of Reeves's work here:

Guess he decided to be painter while he was just horsing around.

I would much rather go through life as Nine Stone then Ima Hogg.....

I used to hear that Ima Hogg had a sister named Yora Hogg, but
apparently, that's an urban myth.

We heard that too while living in Houston. Youra and Hesa Hogg...not true..
She did have three brothers, William, Micheal and Thomas....
She was named after the heroine in a civil war poem that her Uncle Thomas
Elisha Hogg wrote...
To everyone that new and loved her she was called Miss Ima...

Hey, that style looks exactly like the style of the artist that did Tony
Soprano's painting of HIS horse.

There was a family in my neighborhood named Smouse. They named two of their
kids Minnie and Mickey. This is NOT an urban legend.

Sorry, you're right. I was looking at *troy* pounds, and not U.S.
Avoirdupois. Troy = 153.1; Avoirdupois = 126. In either case, be it
126 or 153, it's still *hardly* near "horse weight"!

Troy weight would be appropriate if she's a *precious* Stone....r
