Wonderful painting Susan! This one really caught my eye. Its like waves crashing against the shore...dark mystical yet, still an energy and light of hope!

This is the one... " I am a ghost upon your path...but these words give a ghost speech...speak the language beyond reproach...the body speaks. " Now it needs focus...why not use, again and sgain...your alter ego...the msgic white horse...find him in your landscapes, torture and twist him...or stand him stoically aloof...he is your totem...large and or small...use the cabal blanc.
Susan Esbensen replied:
Thanks Tighe. John McCarthy wrote a book called, "A Ghost upon your path," in his search for ancestors, self and inner peace.

Love the stormy mood and atmosphere, Susan. Storms are one of my favorite things...
Susan Esbensen replied:
Thanks Karen! Unfortunately storms and horses don't go well together, one of your other favorite things! :)

I see people try to capture a Turner like feeling but this one makes me feel like you actually did it. The land, sea and sky all have their own center and flow. Good job Susan!
