Finding Peace

CHILI PEPPER | 40X40 | acrylic on canvas

Sometimes I feel like making horse art is kind of a pointless endeavor. Every day, out in the studio mixing my colors, and getting lost in my own little universe. All while the world outside is going mad.

But what should I do? I should be doing more, I tell myself.

I am reminded of this quote from Einstein-“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them”.

So what is the answer?  It seems more government, laws, wars, etc….don’t seem to really solve things.

This leads me to creativity and nature, this powerful force that enlivens us-the reason we are here experiencing this life we have been gifted.

I have to remind myself that life “is” a gift, that there is so much more to this physical reality we are experiencing. So while I am out in the studio communing with this “muse”, I return with small tokens of this meeting.

To shine a little light into the darkness.

Hope you enjoy my newest piece.

Peace
