Always
When did you lose your wild heart?
It is still there within you
Hear the ancient echoes of your kin
Reaching through time
Asking you to redefine
Your domesticity
~ Kim McElroy
The Story Behind the Art
This is a portrait of a Quarter Horse named Jessie. I met Jessie in a dry, dusty lot in a suburban neighborhood in California. His name and gentle presence, the wind in his mane, and the setting sun made me want to transport back in time with him, before all the mundane surroundings of modern humanity. I wanted to return him to the vastness of the wild west, so that is where I painted him. I believe some part of him knew and was longing for that too. He reminds us that the beauty of nature surrounds us and is within us.
