Hey whats with all the Horses? A tesimony for Bucephalus

Hey whats with all the Horses? Here is the deal and why you will be seeing an equine subject matter. BUCEPHALUS! Growing up a pigtail flying, oat eating, galloping girl I lived horses. The legend of all legends was of course the great and first heroic horse Bucephalus. As amazing as his rider Alexander the great and the beginning of both their legends are entwined in each other. He is as legendary as Excaliber is to Aurther. Horse as legend and hero has been a long subject in human history. They are our more noble nature. A horse will race so determined to win that its heart will explode in its chest. They fight our wars with us and die along side us. 8 million died in WWI alone. 3000 died in Gettysburg.
There have been legendary horses throughout the west. The hero's of our past had amazing steads as brave and sternly made. The Race track is full of legends. The sport of kings is actually ruled by horses bigger than the sport itself. Horses care about the game. Watch the line up out the gate and see them stare each other down. I plan to take the next year and do several pieces about this. I am thinking to do at least 10 very large scale and powerful works. I will also continue to enter shows locally and nationally. I will be keeping you up on this subject. All the work will be for sale. Also I will be filming and posting speed paints of my larger works. It is going to be an exciting time. The year of the Horse!
