Meadowsweet

Time spent with a horse

Is infused with meaning

Like a tarot reading

An initiation into the way

Of asking direct questions

And receiving elusive answers

STORY BEHIND THE ART
ORIGINAL SOLD Prints Available Here

A horse might enter our lives for only moments or years, yet they become a part of the fabric of our heart’s tapestry.

In 1999, when we drove up the road to look at the property that became our farm, we passed by a small farm with two horses. Little did we know that years later one of those horses would become a member of our family.

Meadow was content with the horses through the years she spent with us, but her heart never fully embraced humans.

One day in my studio, I was inspired to create a flowing and spontaneous piece as a break from my more complex and detailed work. I found a sketch I had drawn of Meadow. I realized that I had drawn only half of her face. Perhaps it was my way of expressing her elusive nature. As I worked with the pastel colors, I realized that as I created her single eye, her true self was there looking back at me, as if she had been waiting for me to draw her all along. I felt gratitude from her spirit, and I understood that we were a part of her journey to find some of what she was seeking.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
A horse might enter our lives for only moments or years, yet they become a part of the fabric of our heart’s tapestry. We rescued this beautiful mare named Meadow in her elder age. We only had her for a few short years, but she made a deep impression on us. Years after she passed away, I found a sketch I had drawn of her. I was inspired to create a flowing and spontaneous pastel. I realized that I had drawn only half of her face. Perhaps it was my way of expressing her elusive nature. As I worked with the pastel colors, I realized that as I created her single eye, her true self was there looking back at me, as if she had been waiting for me to draw her all along.

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.

Paper Prints: 1 to 2 weeks

Matted Prints: 3 to 4 weeks

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