Eye of the Storm
Six horses ride the crest, as one watches
We are the water horses
Heralding the waves of change
We come to remind you of the ebb and flow
Each wave has its crest and its trough
From your perspective you only see the chaos
Be the eye of the storm
~ Kim McElroy
THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
Long ago, nature had a presence, a form, and a personality. One of my greatest artistic epiphanies occurred when I realized I could see horses in elements of nature. This experience inspired me to create my Horses in the Elements Series.
I love the wildness of this wave and the horses reflect that wildness. This painting is a great conversation starter, for when not prompted people assume this is a painting of waves. Yet upon conversation they will immediately start to count the hidden horses, as the horses start to emerge, there are usually one or two that are more challenging to find.
This painting is also the card for Emotional Collection in the Way of the Horse Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery by Linda Kohanov
