Even in the life of a winged horse there are times that sailing the skies is not so easy.  This Pegasus has been grounded by a fierce storm.  Arched neck facing into the wind, he will wait until the fury is over and take to wing again.  This came about to express a time in my life when we both understood that feeling of being grounded by the storm...

He looks like he's lit by an inner strength and can handle anything. Very nice inspirational piece!

:-) Deborah Flyinghorse Sutherlin replies: "Indeed Michelle, you have a very discerning eye. Often that is all that sees us through. Thank you!"

mM, looks very stormy in there. I like how he's bracing his wings against the wind

:-) Deborah Flyinghorse Sutherlin replies: "Thank you Liz! It's always such a pleasure when you stop by! I agree... gotta brace against those storms of life, they sure can get rough..."

A great idea and well done. My sister has a percheron who stands against the wind in exactly the same pose. Of course, he doesn’t have wings...

:-) Deborah Flyinghorse Sutherlin replies: "oh that sounds so awesome! I did this piece before I ever got my first horse! I had merely studied tons of pictures..."
