I finished stitching this sweet heart yesterdy as an homage to my mare Ebony and my passionate love for horses.
The stitching is from Pam Garrison's stitching line and the rest was influenced by the class I took at French General.

For Morgan
" ... without a horse in my keeping I would feel as if I had lost touch with the earth " - Beryl Markham
In May of 2008 I felt like I had lost touch with the earth ...
My beloved soulmate Ebony passed.
I never thought I would get over my grief. It was through my art that I did. I still miss her each and every day but now it is more sweet than bitter. A friend told me while I was grieving that one day Ebony's spirit would come to rest inside of me. That one day I will feel her strength and love in every breath. Now indeed I do.
Recently, Morgan, lost her long time four legged soulmate and is feeling like she has lost touch with the earth. So Morgan this is for you - an understanding, a comfort in knowing that one day your sweet one will come to rest within you ...

Our Light - Horse Journal Pages
I have been working on Juliana's Altered States class and got a little bit - well, chomping at the bit, pun intended, so I started a few journal pages in my horse journal yesterday.

A glimpse of Heaven
The eyes have it to be sure. I have always been fascinated by a horse's eye. They tell you so much about them and you most definitely get a glimpse into their soul.
and when it comes to painting them - the eye is key - if you can capture their eye - you can capture their essence.
They say "The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears."
But I say that you can see the glimpse of Heaven through their eyes.
