"Ignited Flame" isn't just any horse painting—he's a special horse that has endured the flames of fire. I created this piece before the California fires began and finished it while the fires were still burning.

This horse led me during the painting process. As I began the layering of water-soluble graphite and acrylic layers, I didn't know why I was painting this subject until I heard about the fires in the news. Then I knew this wasn't a coincidence and "Ignited Flame" is very special.

Each bold brushstroke is a vibration of energy.

This horse is charging into the future with purpose. It's a symbol of focus, determination, and hope—a visual representation of strength.

Can you feel it?
