This painting is entitled "Wildfire" and is inspired by my sculpture of the same name. Like the sculpture, with the painting I wanted to express the wild nature of horses and their inner strength, unbounded spirit and energy. For me this piece invokes freedom and life, a horse driven with power and grace. Its cool blue spirit is free to flow and be its true nature. There is fire and turmoil all around but it is poised and powerful. It feels like the pieces of this horse are drawn and pulled together like metal armor evoking protection, movement and inner power, all qualities horses posses. The light of its spirit seems to be escaping from within the bounds of its earthly shell. Trying to be free. Its mane flowing wild in the wind.
I grew up with many horses in my life and this piece is very special to me as an artist. I hope you see in it what I do.
