"Coming Out of the Darkness" Original 24" X 36" Acrylic on Canvas

Several years ago I lost my daughter to cancer. I painted this as an opening to a series that I thought of as my grief therapy. She shared my love for horses and surpassed me in talent for working with them. These spirit horses represent our family and coming out of the darkness into the light took a very long time. Putting this feeling into a vision of hope for some brighter days helped me through the very most difficult part of it.
