Maroccon Mares (Mystical Horses)

Feel the energy as these "Mystic Horses" leap off the journal cover, with rich color, fluid and flowing forms. With Moroccan Mares, San Francisco artist Laurel Burch indulges her life-long passion for the horse, a creature of mythology through millennia, whose power, beauty and vitality never fails to inspire awe. She sums it up best in her own words: "Mystic Horses—all grace and beauty, these elegant beings.... Strong legs pulsating, pounding rhythms upon the earth like a drum beating in resonance with my own ancestral heart. Is there anything more sensuously beautiful than the horse? … I think not."
