White Steed - Acrylic Painting

"White Steed"
image size 24"x12" - acrylic

White horses carry a great significance in mythologies around the world. They pull the sun chariot, carry warrior-heroes, patron saints and the world’s savior.  Pegasus, the winged horse, is white.

Other myths and tales tell of white horses that are divinatory, who prophesy or warn of danger; that triumph over negative forces.  These magnificent steeds, whether visionary or metaphorical, are found in liturgical sources preserved in on-going traditions.
