"Fluid" Bucephalus is called. Horse swimming in blue water

"Fluid" The Bucephalus mythos. The Swimming Horse is explored by Cinnamon Cooney. The horse as hero continues as he is called to adventure. Leaving behind the earth beneath his feet and plunging into the depths of the unknown. He becomes different and evident as great by this act of bold confrontation.
I am walking hand in hand. Pushing my ideas of painting methods and seeking out new process. I am working confidently trusting my judgement and enjoying the results. I am blessed beyond all reason in my calling. To paint and tell visual stories. World building and content creation. Each piece stands alone but fills in the puzzle for the rest. Painting these underwater horses is transformative!

"Choir" 24X30 acrylic on Canvas Horses running in the waves. Wild ponies of the outer banks

"Choir" 24X30 acrylic on Canvas. Horses swimming and running in crashing waves. My newest work in The  Bucephalus series. In the history of exploration and expansion you can see a hoof print. 400 years ago the plans of mice and Spain left behind on remote desolate costal shores a legacy.  The Corolla wild horses on the outer banks. They have survived storms, drought, and the encroachment of modern life. The bloodline of their ancestors still show from their forelocks to flanks. These transplants border on being magical even mythical. Perfect muses for the stages of the Heroic Journey. This is the stage known as crossing the threshold which these amazing beings surely have done.At the end of Act One, the hero commits to leaving the Ordinary World and entering a new region or condition with unfamiliar rules and values. I hope I have given you a moment to think of the courage and tenacity of these brave survivors. You can learn more about what inspired me so deeply at The Corolla Wild Horse Fund.  Available $720
