I love the concept of wild horses:  the epitome of freedom!

My mother taken  me to several locations in Wyoming in which horses run free.  She has also taken many photos of them, and they have served as resource material in my art.   Horses were and still are signs of affluence as well as being vital to our culture.  They are definitely a part of contemporary western culture yet today.

The lodge poles in the painting are unfinished.  I scrubbed them out as I painted the tipi texture in the initial under painting.  Once I get the imagery finalized as far as content, then I will proceed with moving forward in space in the painting.

I am loving the color red… it is a prevalent color in my artwork.  I don’t know where all this red came from:  I used to hate red as too bold and garish… now that is what I love about it!  Hard telling.  Life throws me “loops” like this… just when I seem to think I know something concrete about myself or the world: it changes on me!  I guess it keeps life evolving and of interest…
