I came into the world with crayon in hand. Creativity is my default mode.
My painting is instinctive, of my own education, formed from years of observation, from doing the work of painting and allowing my inner artist to lead the way.
Figuring out the next painting puts me in the happy zone.
No two paintings are the same, its all about what the subject seems to ask me to do, and evolves as paint is applied to canvas.
Art classes in high school were the spark that catapulted me into a lifetime of painting - through many subjects and painting on everything I could put a mark on.
The natural world has been a constant thread - with animals a favorite subject.
Recent years found my attention captured again and again by horses.
I want to paint many things and I sometimes stray from the horses and the animals to paint a floral, a still life or a landscape, but always coming back to what takes my breath away, the animals.
The horses. Motion and Emotion.
We of the two legged have an affinity for horses.
We don't usually analyze this attraction, we simply love them.
There's certainly a lot to love about these beautiful beasts.
They are indeed beautiful to the eye and to the touch.
They touch our soul when we connect to a particular horse, and they reciprocate that feeling.
There is scientific evidence that horses have a healing affect for us. It's a "Biodirectional healing that happens when we are near horses".
"Our respiration and heartbeat entrain with the slower rates of the horse”. *
I sense this when being near horses. I believe our intuition knows all of this already, the studies simply confirm and put it into scientific fact.
The feelings of being near horses, even when viewing photos of horses - that's what keeps me coming back again and again to capture their many emotions in my paint.
