Blue Dancer Trinity - Contemporary Western Horse Equine Montana Mustang Art

Blue Dancer Trinity - Contemporary Western Horse Equine Montana Mustang Art

About This Painting:
I like to paint in threes. Three has a deep significance not only for me but for much of humankind throughout our history.

Three is the symbol of the unity of the body, mind and spirit. Throughout history the number three has been a symbol linked to the connectedness and integrity of the universe. In art there are three primary color red, green and blue. Aristotle had three dramatic unities: Unity of Action, Unity of Time, Unity of Place. In music the triad form the basis of any chord. In math three is the first odd prime number. In many religions three has spiritual significance.

Blue Dancer Trinity brings together the magic of the number three and the joy of the Dancer. Watching the muscles ripple, hearing hoofs strike the earth like a drum, I know one of life's great dancers is the horse.. The Dancer becomes the symbol of how we move in life. The dance is the way we can move effortlessly between chaos and order, between suffering and joy, between understanding and paradox.

The Observer - Yellowstone Wolf, Impressionistic, Contemporary, Impasto, Animal Art, Canis Lupus

"The Observer" Wolf, Impressionistic, Contemporary, Impasto, Animal Art, Yellowstone

About This Painting:
Over the years, in Yellowstone Park I've watched those who are intensely focused on seeing the wolves. Yet, the wolf watches us in turn. Observing our actions toward his pack. Northern indigenous tribes believed the wolf was a gift. Their story about the origins of the Wolf goes like this: The tribe was starving because the caribou were sick and dying so they prayed to the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit told them to go to the ice and reach in and pull forth a gift that would help the tribe. When the Elder reached into the ice he pulled forth a wolf. The Wolf caught the slowest and sickest of the caribou and this stopped disease from spreading and the herd became healthy again.

Sometimes I wonder; is that which we consider the "wolf" in our lives actually a gift that will keep us healthy?
