The Fire and Sky
This original watercolor painting is part of my Year of the Fire Horse series, a body of work exploring transformation, instinct, and the subtle forces that draw us toward movement and growth.
Painted on BFK paper, this 10 × 15 inch piece reflects the idea that change rarely arrives through force alone. More often, it begins as a quiet pull—an invitation, a curiosity, a subtle seduction toward movement and progression.
In this painting, color and light move fluidly across the paper, suggesting the energy of transformation as something alive and luminous. At the center of the composition, a rose gold leaf moon glows behind the point where the hand meets the horse’s head, emphasizing the moment of connection between human intention and instinctual force. The metallic leaf catches light gently, creating a celestial focal point that reinforces the theme of guidance and awakening.
Rather than resistance, the work embraces the moment when we allow ourselves to be carried forward by change. The layered watercolor washes create radiance and movement, celebrating the beauty of transformation and the natural momentum that follows when we step into a new cycle.
This painting reflects the belief that change is not only powerful—it is magnetic, drawing us toward growth, possibility, and new directions.
