HORSES WILD and FREE ~ oil portraits

















The FREEDOM TRIO ~ by © Karrel Christopher
20" x 24" inches ~ oil on canvas painting
The exhilaration of freedom on a lovely summer's day celebrated with running, play and affection. One of the first in my series of HORSE paintings - celebrating the beauty, spirit and tenderness of equines. Despite their large size and strength, horses often communicate in a most delicate, gentle manner...a soft nudge, subtle eye contact... sharing breath...day dreaming ...transcending space and time...
they become one with the universal music.
Horses are magnificent members of our Earth Family.
Let us evolve and create new compassionate traditions of non-use...allowing them dignity, freedom and long happy lives.
All animals have so much to teach us about kindness, love and life...strength, compassion and tenderness.
May we always respectfully and lovingly protect them.
