Description 14"x18", watercolor and india ink.

There's a lot I could say about this piece - but to keep myself from writing a novel, I will just say this - This piece went through many transformations to get to this point. This originally started as an ink sketch of a piaffe (a dressage move) and then took off from there.
I am fascinated with the idea of transformation, it is a constant inspiration I explore with a lot of my art. I think that is part of why I find myself so drawn to northwest coast native american art styles - their bold stylization covers a heavy theme of transformation and connection. Horses can fly without wings, they use the wings within.

Beautifully done. I love the colors and the bold lines. Native American style art has always been something I'm attracted to.

Excellent symbolism. The whole piece flows nicely together and takes awhile to see everything. Very nice image!

Oh my dear goodness, that is just absolutely beautiful. I occasionaly try dabbling in styles like this myself (And to be honest, do poorly)... so it makes it all the cooler when I see people who can make it work so incredibly well. I am incredibly fond of how you rendered the horse's face, as well as the eagle. I love those wings too...

Spiffy!
