Bonfire - One rearing ruler and his court of six
“I am your creative fire
I wait in darkness
In the embers of your soul
When the time is right
We will ignite each other
I will come forth
With the power that comes from courage
And the joy of self-expression
Then we can revel together
In what takes form”
~ Kim McElroy
THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
Usually when I create paintings in my Horses in the Elements Series, I look for natural formations that are shaped like horses. “Bonfire” is unique in that I didn’t start with a planned composition, but rather the horses revealed themselves in the patterns of the flames as I drew them. The title, “Bonfire” is meant convey that these horse spirits are reveling in a an alchemical celebration of the beneficial and creative expression of fire.
