"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
