"It comes in steps before you feel the full power of love surrounding you. Same with this painting... I had an odd beginning with acrylic light layers before the oil joined the circle.

I bring you Circle of Love to start every day with!"  Elle   CIRCLES Circles are important in our lives. I came across an article on circles.

Your people will be my people and your God my God."  Ruth 1:16 When I paint horses that are 'together'... I am always reminded of the ties in Ruth to her mother-in-laws family.  It also reminds me I was 11 and Terry was 13 when we met.  I will follow you.... and I still am, or is he following me?  Well, I know we both are following God.  BE OF FAITH Just a short thought after painting today... sometimes my 'abstract' pieces remind me so much of our lives today...

" This sweet baby came from an inspiration by Helmut Hussman on FB who shoots photos of wild horses… I may take the inspiration and go different directions than the original in color and background, but the love of horses and their spirit is always foremost!"

I was making over 100k a year and they were all oil. Painting at least 6-7 pie
