This original watercolor painting is part of my Year of the Fire Horse series, a body of work exploring transformation, instinct, and the many ways change begins.
Painted on Somerset watercolor paper, this 10 × 15 inch piece portrays Night as a child, riding her Fire Horse with the fearless imagination that belongs to childhood. In her world, the horse is not bound by reality. Through ornamentation and playful transformation, she has turned the Fire Horse into a unicorn, a creature of possibility and wonder.
Children often meet the world without hesitation. In this moment, Night rides forward without fear, embodying the earliest spark of courage that eventually grows into real change. The unicorn becomes a symbol of belief, imagination, and the quiet conviction that transformation is possible.
The painting is finished with gold leaf accents in the stars and in the bridle of the horse, adding subtle luminosity and emphasizing the magical, dreamlike atmosphere of the scene.
This painting was inspired by my daughters, Daphne and Hannah, whose creativity and openness remind me that imagination is often the first step toward meaningful change.
Created with fluid watercolor washes and luminous pigments, the piece celebrates childhood imagination, bravery, and the playful beginnings of transformation.
