Do you believe in destiny? We have no idea how magical our lives can be unless we take a chance and follow our dreams. This painting reminds me of the incredible night sky and how small we are in the grand scheme of things. It is my hope that my art inspires you to dream big and reconnect with that magical part of your soul.

I prepared this canvas with a heavy layer of texture and used stencils to create some interesting mandala-like patterns into the background. The first day on horseback we created the basic body of the horse and added some movement with paint splatter. The second day we added color and contrast.
Our painting/riding sessions last about 30 minutes and include walk, trot, canter, flying changes, sidepass, rein-back, and piaffe. Rovandio is currently 20 years old so I keep his sessions short and sweet so I do not stress his body. I want him to enjoy painting and have him stay sound as long as possible. Each painting is an accumulation of the years and thousands of hours we have spent together.
I am also excited to share that Rovandio signed the piece himself! The pink brushstrokes near his hoofprint were painted using a brush in his mouth. I taught him how to paint when I also introduced it to Douwe in 2019. Click here to view Rovandio’s personal art gallery.
