Awareness
“The eyes, circled by this sad and beautiful darkness,were so sorrowful, lonely, gentle, and nobly tragic,
that they killed all other emotions except love.”
~ T.H. White
THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
One of the reasons I paint horse’s eyes is to direct the viewer to understand what the horse is feeling. The inner world of horses shines from their eyes. Both their joys and their sorrows are reflected there, for horses cannot laugh, and they cannot weep. Their hearts and souls peer from the depths of twin pools that reflect the world.
