I have really been influenced lately by a few mixed media artists and it is my plan to start adding paint to some of my more recent wildlife and floral art. I have also been feeling the desire to branch out from my equine work and see what creative expression evolves and where it takes me.
Not to mention the horses have been to fuzzy!
This beautiful bird lives downtown close to Denver in the Belmar area. It is amazing how wildlife have adapted to communities being built around them. If you look closely you will see the ripples on the pond.
Show season is coming up and I have been experimenting with wildlife and now I am transitioning to florals. Flowers often have such a short presence...they bloom and smile at us for short periods and then wither and die. They teach us about impermanence and to live in the moment.
This beautiful little soul would come to visit every night a couple of summers ago. We didn't feed him, he was following his daily trail of least resistance along our driveway. We live at the top of a box canyon surrounded by other folks property so we are blessed to have our own sanctuary where bear, deer, fox, and sometimes elk and eagle pass to say hello.
If fox has entered you path then it may be time to experience life with joy and purpose. it may be time to dig deeply, hop on your windhorse to journey and discover what excites you! Enliven your senses and LIVE .... Be your "foxy" self and step out of your camouflage and into the playground of imagination and dreams!
Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to teach and share medicine. A true family member yet embodies a strong sense of uniqueness and individuality.
Wolf aligns with the moon, its power ally. Moon represents the unconscious that holds the secrets of knowledge and wisdom.
The wolf empowers the teacher within us all to flourish and come to the aid of all beings on Earth and help shed light in understanding "The Great Mystery" and Creation....... Life
"A human being is part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole [of] nature in its beauty. ~ Albert Einstein 1950
We can learn a lot from Einstein, widening our compassion......learning to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
I am have decided to start creating wildlife art from some of my photographs and create animal totems, weaving them into my journey of creative expression with horses.
Elk represents stamina and the ability to pace oneself. Sometimes we feel so unbalanced and feel like we will never meet our goals. Elk shows up when you are about to hit your stride in life; don't give up, have endurance for the long run >>>> DETERMINATION!!
If we balance our pragmatic "to do" lists with our passions, our life will fall into place easily and effortlessly! When we do too much we tire, become frustrated and disappointed - all negative energies. When we dream and fly around in creation we often can't get anything done for life is a high. So BALANCE the two and see what happens!

This is the BLOG spot of windhorseOne Studios and Susan Williams, a Denver area equine fine art photographer whose unique and distinctive imagery portrays the magical and powerful essence of the horse.
I am a photographer who primarily photographs horses and also dogs. I live in the mountains of Morrison Colorado. My mantra is "Portraying the powerful and magical essence of the horse."
My pencils and paintbrushes were given up for a camera many years ago however my photography is rendered in a very painterly style. I believe this yields the best of both worlds; a photograph and a painting at the same time. It also satisfies my need to add a personalized touch to the work
