Espirit de la Mer
"When you do dance, I wish you a wave 'o the sea,
that you might ever do nothing but that."
~ Shakespeare
THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
This painting was originally commissioned as a unicorn emerging from the sea, for a Collector’s Plate series by Lenox. In trying to find a buyer for the original painting, I began to sense that some people did not appreciate unicorns as much as I did – so I removed the horn from the original pastel. Now – thanks to a wonderful collector who loves unicorns, the horn has been restored to its original creation. I think this beautiful horse doesn’t mind that I have two paintings celebrating his magnificent spirit.
