Bella's Song

Horse

My mind, body, and spirit travel the fields of knowing
Trusting that each new stride will bring me

Into alignment with my purpose

Butterfly

My mind, body, and spirit trust the changes in my life
Knowing that the winds will carry me safely
Nature will provide all I need for the journey

~ Kim McElroy

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
Bella was a beautiful mare who left this earth much too soon. She touched her owner’s hearts so deeply in the two years they had her that they commissioned me to create a custom creation that would celebrate her unique spirit. When I began to compose her portrait, I kept encountering butterflies. Not flying by, but appearing in pictures when I thought of her and on the liner notes of the music I chose to play when I sat down at my easel. I felt that Bella was communicating somehow through the butterfly symbol.

This painting is also the card for Transformation in the Way of the Horse Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery Book and Card Set by Linda Kohanov.

When I told her owners of my inspiration, they said Bella’s registered name was “Ka Bo’s Butterfly.” This synchronicity helped me know that my intuition was correct and that there must be a reason for the butterfly to be a part of her painting. Her art has become a message of transformation and healing for her owners and people the world over.

PLEASE NOTE: International Print Shipments:

Free Shipping is only offered on Domestic USA shipments and doesn't apply to Canadian and International Shipping. With the variety of products we offer, it is impossible to accurately predict Shipping charges to different countries. Shipping costs for prints are calculated AFTER checkout based on package weight and distance. Customers will receive an invoice to cover any additional costs. Please note that we are only charging the amount to ship, which exceeds what we are offering as free packaging and shipping. Tracking is also sometimes unreliable but our packages have always landed safely. Border fees, duties, and handling fees might apply.

When ordering prints: I have my art custom-scanned with the highest resolution possible to capture every stroke and texture of the original pastel. For most of my prints, my publisher, American Moulding, offers a variety of options shown below. I also offer Custom Prints which are made locally and hand-signed and shipped from my studio.

Paper Prints and Matted Prints are printed on substantial 180g Archival Matte paper. They are wrapped in clear protective packaging in a flat mailer.

Regarding Matted Prints: The size of the matted print indicates the outside edge of the mat dimensions. An 11" x 14" matted print fits in a frame with an 11" x 14" opening. Depending upon the artwork dimensions, mats are approx 1 1/2" - 2" wide

Premium Fine Art Prints are printed on luscious 310g Sunset Textured Watercolor paper. They are shipped rolled in a sturdy tube. This allows the larger size to ship economically and damage-free.

Canvas Prints are finished with a mirror image of the art around the edge and mounted on 1.5” inch stretcher bars. They include a wire for hanging and are shipped in a sturdy cardboard crate

Please Note: Some of my artwork is different in ratio than standardized sizes. They work best with custom framing by your local frame shop. For more affordable framing, consider the Matted Prints which allow any size of art to become a standard-sized dimension to allow ease of selecting a store-bought frame.

Due to supply chain issues, our current turnaround times are as follows:

Paper Prints: 1 to 2 weeks

Matted Prints: 3 to 4 weeks

For the 11x14” Matted Print the Art Image is approximately 8x10”

For the 16x20” Matted Print the Art Image is approximately 12x16”

I am honored to create this beautiful piece for you to frame behind glass and hang in a special place in your home. Each print is as much my art as the original, carrying the energetic blueprint of the art into your life.
