Water Horse
This white horse is a Kelpie in disguise – the kelpie is a Scottish faery horse that is known for misleading travelers and luring them into the water. This kelpie is waiting to lead you into the depths of your own wisdom

Horses of the Four Elements was commissioned by my client Joseph from Portugal. Joseph told me of his love for nature and horses and his interest in commissioning two paintings representing horses embodying the essence of the four seasons and the four elements. Joseph has horses of his own but rather than their likenesses, he offered me the freedom to depict my own choice of horse models.
