Description
This stunning "surreal" artwork was inspired by a title of a show called "For the Love of Horses"... (which was a benefit to help raise funds for scholarships that sponsored disabled children to receive therapy while on a horse called "Hippotherapy"). I wanted to create a colorful scene with an "equine theme", so I combined a pinkish Southwest sunset photo that I took with a golden Midwest sunset. The eagle flying high in the sky represents our "free spirit". The emblem of the black horse is meant to convey our "strength". The windblown "ghostlike" figure of an Indian on his horse represents a "messenger". The full moon depicts a continuous cycle of time. And like the moon the sunset is not the end, but part of a cycle towards a "new tomorrow". The message is . . . "that we have time to dream endless possibilities for our life" - (life depicted by the large body of water in the piece). Our dreams give mankind "HOPE"! The end result of this piece . . . is a "stunning" Photographic Fine Art Collage.

Thank you for your nice comment on this artwork - which I thoroughly enjoyed creating for an art show that benefited children with "special needs". I'm inspired by my daughter...who also has "special needs". And I'm thankful for the artistic talent that God has blessed me with...so I can share my "inspired" artwork and help out worthwhile causes.

I'm glad that you liked this piece. Some aspects of it may seem familiar to you (especially living out in Arizona)...because I combined a neat pinkish Southwest (Arizona) sunset photo that I took with a golden Midwest (Oklahoma) sunset to get that "stunning" effect.

Thanks for the "congrats"! I strive to create interesting artwork with a "dreamlike" quality to it - which invokes the viewer's imagination.
