I have been lucky to have horses in my life for many years and find your observations wonderful and right on. When horses wave their legs in the air like a bug it can look random and jerky- so different from the grace and agility we see when they are standing upright whether still or moving. I believe they are creatures of the air element so when horses lie on the ground it has the feel of a rare and sacred event, even a Visitation.<br />I have always loved Deborah Butterfield's amazing work so thanks for sharing this oh-so-wonderful piece of hers! <br />Also I love your work and this image!! Your use of trees seems perfect because trees hold wind and wind is the horse but here the horse contains the wind and there is peace in that.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733916158391343630noreply@blogger.com
