With thundering hooves, flashing eyes and pounding hearts,
Bonnie Marris’ horses represent all that is truly wild in
great wildlife art. Their exhilaration is contagious and their
spirit truly indomitable, as Marris’ skill with the brush
and empathy with the animal soul brings their joyous freedom
to life.
Each morning, as the sunlight rolls over the mountains, these
three horses stretch their muscles and begin their travel across
the countryside. Today’s leg of the journey begins with
a refreshing splash through an ice-cold stream, fresh from the
mountaintop. As the water leaps into the air around their knees,
the exuberant animals will take different paths over the uneven
bottom of the creek bed, but by sunset they will find one another
again. By the time the last star has appeared in the evening
sky the family will be safe at rest, gathering strength for the
next day’s run. |
