This original watercolor painting is part of my Year of the Fire Horse series, a body of work exploring the relationship between instinct, transformation, and the forces that move us forward.
Painted on Somerset watercolor paper, this 10 × 15 inch piece captures a quiet and intimate moment between Night and the Fire Horse. Rather than movement or ignition, the focus here is tenderness. Night reflects on her relationship with the horse, her hand resting gently in acknowledgment of the bond they share.
The Fire Horse represents powerful change and momentum within the lunar cycle, yet in this painting that force is softened through trust and companionship. The gesture between them suggests respect, friendship, and an understanding that the energy of transformation is not something to dominate, but something to walk beside.
Layered watercolor washes allow color to move freely across the paper, creating warmth and luminosity within the horse’s form while Night remains calm and contemplative. The painting holds a sense of stillness and connection—an emotional pause within the larger arc of the Fire Horse story.
This work reflects a moment of relationship, reflection, and quiet strength, where power is balanced by care.
