"Guardian Spirits" is a painting based on a visit to the
Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary
in Hot Springs, South Dakota. These people work hard to maintain a privately
funded reserve for some of the unwanted wild horses that had been culled to
reduce wild horse populations. The horses were destined to spend their
remaining days in feedlots until these people stepped up and offered to provide
a place they could run free again.
There is a cliff wall covered in Anasazi petroglyphs located at the
Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary
. As I stood and gazed at the
carvings on this cliff, it was like touching the past. At that instant, I knew
the combination of the wild horses and the ancient petroglyphs would be a
wonderful painting.

I have a passion for heavy horses and the Friesian is at the top of my list.
The model for this painting was based on a horse from the Minnesota Horse Expo.
I was particularly attracted to the rolling curves and ample mane and tail.

I went to a cattle branding on a ranch
in Wyoming during the summer of 1999 and I was
captivated by this horse and rider and how they
worked together so perfectly. They had formed a
definite partnership working almost like they were
one creature. It brought to mind the partnership
between a husband and wife, how they compliment
one another and often introduce their partner as
their "Better Half."
