Art by Oklahoma Abstract Contemporary Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy

© "Swirling Spiraling Snow"

A wintery day inspired a nostalgic type painting- of Swirling Spiraling Snow. 

This lovely paso fino looks over to the side during a gentle but very cold snow storm, the horse stands covered with flakes on it's body, head and hair, yet is content in the elements. A vaporous steam curls from delicate nostrils into the frosty air. Even though I love the warm weather, I do love snow- I love it's stark beauty, the freshness, stillness and the peace it radiates. Big flakes falling and collecting on surfaces was something I loved to be out in, and this painting makes me think of those times with nostalgia for my growing up and early adult years in Upstate New York. Snow like this is a rarity in Oklahoma where I reside at the time this painting was created. 

What do you think about the snow? Do you like it, love it, loathe it? Does snow bring you memories you like to revisit? I could list many wonderful memories from a snowy world. I'd love to hear your stories.

This is a commissioned painting that was delivered to the recipient today who loves it! She even showed me where she is going to hang it....right in her entryway!

The painting was commissioned as a gift and began with the recipient's favorite scripture, color ideas, and my idea of creating a geometric shape that reflected the owner's personality in conjunction with the scripture.

Jeremiah 29:11 talks about the Lord's plans....how they give us a future and a hope.

The spiral was chosen because it represents energy and a path....a journey.

Working closely with the recipient, we chose colors and motion and energy that you see in the final painting above.

I would love for you to commission a painting. It's a wonderful process! Please email me at bethlendermanfineart@gmail.com.

Blessings!
