Equine Painting “Scarred But Not Broken” by Painter of the American West

We're all aware of the rotten recipe for how any living creature's spirit gets broken: cruelty, deprivation, and disregard. But some creatures, human and non-human, are molded into something triumphant and magnificent by the very circumstances that shatter the psyche of others. When I painted this beautiful creature, my intent was to communicate the power of Indomitable Spirit; the seed that resides in all of us.

Cowgirl, Western Art "Get Up. Show Up. Never Give Up." by Painter of the American West Nancee Jean Busse

FRESH OFF THE EASEL

 Years ago I had the privilege of meeting the owner of a horse ranch and photographing her beautiful horses. She spent her life doing the hard physical labor of caring for large animals and she had elevated that endeavor into a high art. She was tough, no-nonsense, and hardened by sun and wind and work. But when she got up on her pony and put on her show gear, she transformed into the joyful girl who just wants to ride, ride, ride!
