Bonfire - One rearing ruler and his court of six
Prints of this artwork are available in the Print Shop.
I am your creative fire.I wait in darkness,
in the embers of your soul.
When the time is right,
we will ignite each other.
I will come forth
with the power that comes from courage
and the joy of self-expression.
Then we can revel together
In what takes form.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
Usually when I create paintings in my Horses in the Elements Series, I look for natural formations that are shaped like horses. “Bonfire” is unique in that I didn’t start with a planned composition, but rather the horses revealed themselves in the patterns of the flames as I drew them. The title, “Bonfire” is meant convey that these horse spirits are reveling in a an alchemical celebration of the beneficial and creative expression of fire.
This painting is also the card for Clearing and Releasing in the Way of the Horse Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery Book and Card Set by Linda Kohanov
