Description
Eleanor asked that I depict a painting of her mare Fine Time that could portray the elusive and magical moments she had experienced when being with Fine in her pasture. She described the feeling of Oneness she had with Fine Time and with nature, and how time itself seemed to stand still and her awareness of any separation between her self, and her horse dissolved away. Several times Fine Time had initiated an embrace and held Eleanor to her chest in a very poignant gesture of love, which she enacted as if on cue when I went to photograph her for the portrait. All of these elements went into this painting. Another magical aspect occurred; when I was compositing the artwork with images of nature, a song came on my computer called "Hold the Sky" by 2002. The music and lyrics were uncannily perfect, so much so that Eleanor thinks of this music as their "theme song" and it and the painting, are now a tangible reminder of the love they share.
