Art by Abstract Contemporary Oklahoma Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy

© "Seeking the Son"

In this horses and flowers series painting I incorporated the horses mane as part of the powerful striking leaves of this huge sunflower, and the symbolism reflects not only the flowers largesse as the sun, but the lifting up of the horse shows also the desire to rise up to the sun, and as an ascendant into heaven to seek the Son. Done in Liquitex soft body paints, which I find are very rich and saturated. This 20"x16"x1.5" gallery wrap is sold.

"Seeking the Son" acrylic by Oklahoma Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy

"Seeking the Son" 

Here's #4 in my horses and flowers series. This has so many messages given the title- "Seeking the Son". Taken literally in my view, I love the warm weather and longer days. I love the feeling of warmth from the sun on my face and skin. (I do wear sunscreen and try to shade my face for the most part to be safe.) Taken symbolically- the sunflower, a huge, bright, seed nourishing flower that resembles our sun not only in color and size celestially with it's light that transforms the earth into a living orb, but in size relative to other flower species. I also seek the light of the sun spiritually, so play on the spelling and you get Son, the Son of God. I pray for enlightenment, to understand myself and the world around me better, that the muddy colors of distress, confusion and despair clarify and become rich and saturated with peace and happiness. As you can see, the horse is rising upwards towards this ideal, the utopia, the bearer of light. What does this painting mean to you, what does it say to you- do you feel it's message in your soul? Painted with acrylic on a 20"x16"x1.5" gallery wrap canvas.
