The Gift

This painting is part of a series I am doing on the mythology of the horse. Painted intuitively, that is, without a preconceived notion of what I will paint, the figures emerge from the paint and direct the final outcome. In that way, "The Gift" is truly a present to the conscious mind from the subconscious, as well as a reference to the gift of mobility the horse gave to mankind. This painting was won in my 2007 draewing. Sign up for my e-letter to get in this year's drawing for a yet to be determined painting.
