White Horse-Comb | Original

From My Personal Journal

There’s something about horses I’ve always admired—not just their beauty, but their balance. The way they carry both power and peace in the same breath.

When I painted this one, I didn’t want to capture motion. I wanted to capture presence. That rare kind of stillness that doesn’t come from being passive… but from being centered.

Her head is bowed—not in submission, but in calm. It’s the quietest moment, right before she lifts her gaze. And yet, her mane says everything she doesn’t need to.

It rises—windblown, untamed, alive.

That’s where the name WHITE HORSE – COMB came from. It reminded me of waves combed by the wind… or a soul lifting while the body rests.

There’s dignity in her posture. She’s not looking for applause. Not trying to prove herself. She just is. And in a world that constantly asks us to be louder, faster, more—there’s a kind of quiet rebellion in that.

As I painted the curve of her neck, I kept thinking of all the times I’ve seen people underestimate softness. How they confuse gentleness for fragility. But this horse? She knows her strength. It’s woven into her muscles, her stance, the still determination in her golden eye.

She doesn’t need to gallop to be free.

She already is.

I kept the background dark so her form could speak. No distractions. Just the contrast of light and shadow, softness and strength.

Maybe when you look at her, you’ll feel that same reminder: that you don’t have to raise your voice to raise your energy. That grace can carry its own kind of power.

That even in stillness…

You can rise.
