This last spring there were incredibly high
winds here at my home in the Hill Country.
In the front of our home we have very deep
native grasses that blend into the natural
surroundings of our Hill Country landscape.
On this particular day I was fascinated with
the way that the swirling winds made these
grasses dance and bend rhythmically back
and forth in the sunlight. As I watched
the grass it occurred to me that it really did
look like a dance in the wind. I wanted to
capture the rhythms of this movement on
canvas. The grass seemed so wild and free
that day that I began to paint. The horses
were a natural fit in the grass for I can
remember as a young girl feeling completely
free on my horse "Spooky" when I rode
with the wind blowing in my hair. I loved to
watch the wind blowing on Spooky's mane
and tail when we galloped across the fields.
The sun, moon and stars have always
connected me to the spirit of nature. This
painting with its swirling winds, swaying
grasses and gentle horses, is symbolic to me
of the spiritual connection that exists
between earth and heaven.
