Have you ever felt a little insecure about getting back on?

Following visit to the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City and the Hopi Reservations in Arizona, it’s hard to put into words, but I have been transformed by what I have learned. I want them to hold their heads up, rise up, BE renewed in all their understanding and spiritual power.  This is about a one-hour rant about that.

I used to ’event’ and in this painting I wanted to capture that moment when your horse is flying to the cross-country fence and you want him to ‘check back’ a little, gather himself for a safe flight.

Isn’t it so difficult letting your kids go?  Two of mine live in another country.  I think that was what prompted this 30-min. Improvisational painting.

Waking Up The Warhorse is an improvisational painting; A “call to arms” if you will…

You know those times when you lose your nerve? When you’re not sure you want to ‘get back in’?  Well, I decided it was time to get back into the studio and see what happens.  This is an improvisational piece that simply emerged one afternoon.
