Your work is beautiful and as soon as I seen it an old dream emerged.
I once had a dream that I approached a white horse and as I did I said "you are such a beautiful white horse."
The horse replied. " I am no horse but God himself."
I embraced the white horse and the horse said "Jump on. let's go for a ride."
I did and we flew. Then I woke up.
Thanks for the memories.

Hello Ms Koh
I feel a little shy today. Normally I am very forward. But....
I like the fact that you have 3 friends. I would liek to live with more friends
In fact I want to start a canine commune. No human people at all.
We would know what to do. We woudl know how to run the place.
Who ever said canine''s can't cook?

I would love it if I could have some meat. Right now. A big juicy bone
Do you like bones?
Can u ask your canine friends to come to this place too?
They can meet Jimmy
he is very lovvely
what we call an old retainer.
he has been there, done that seen it all
he can teach us all a lot

Mu mum was a golden retriever and my dad a choclate labrador.
I like retrieving things
Especially sticks from the sea or from the river

Hi Amanda, you look so familiar to me! I'm excited that you've found us and hope that you'll share your art here too. Your words about horses reminded me of a chant I once heard from Robert Bly:

"Every breath taken in,
by a man who loves,
and by a woman who loves...
goes to fill the water tank,
where the spirit horse drinks."

or something like that. It once inspired me to paint a horse too.

Lots of love and welcoming,
Alana

Hello Amanda
Now I have to explain that I also have 4 legs like your paintings. But I am not as tall.
And people don't ride me
Well my 11 year old friend does in a sort of child way
This of course has nothing to do with anything
Enjoy the Peace Portal

Woof
