The Crossing I am all things stronger, faster and better when I am with you. I can out run, out perform and accomplish all things when I am with you. I can think, daydream, cleanse my soul and quiet my racing thoughts when I am with you. When I am with you I cross over and connect both sides of myself and there and only there am I completely whole. When I am with you there is no trail long enough. #ejmhughes #piper77 #horses #newmexicoartist #newmexico #corralesnm #muse #totheendsoftheearth #acrylic

Goosebumps chase each other up and down my arms when I finally get to this color and this moment in a canvas. The color that can be describe as lacking all colors, but does it truly? It puts color to words such as purity, virginity and peace. It is often used to describe things holy such as heaven, celestial and spirits. For me this color offers potential, a blank slate, it can become any color that I wish. The color white brings life into all of my canvases, it is the soul. It is my last step before signing my name and it is also the moment when the canvas leaves my head and heart, is given it’s own soul, and a place in the world...just by adding the light of white. #newmexicoartist #acrylic #ejmhughes #piper77 #workinprogress #horses #auctionhorse #arteverydamnday #finaltouches

I admire his beauty and remind him with soft words and gentle hands that he’s a gift. I tell him that his path although not perfect has led him perfectly to me and thank him with hands full of oats for taking me along on his journey. #horses #americanquarterhorse #aqha #auctionhorse #piper77 #ejmhughes

Saturday morning, freezing cold and #piper77 is hot as hell! Feeling his oats, while I can’t feel my toes! #horses #piper77 #newmexico #saturdaymorning #trailride #goodmorning

The group of women that lifted me up when I needed it most have finally shown their faces once again all the way from Seattle Washington to Corrales, New Mexico! After two long years of being rolled up and stored away and with a little encouragement from friends and family I had them stretched and professionally framed! If you’d like to see this painting for yourself these cigar smoking, sassy women are currently hanging at the Corrales Public Library with two of my more recent paintings. A special thank you to @drealeigh23 the manager of @endolynejoes located in West Seattle for not taking “no” for an answer when asked to share my art with the public. If it wasn’t for her the art that followed probably wouldn’t even exist. #newmexicoartist #acrylic #ejmhughes #piper77 #endolynejoes #westseattle #seattle

“The spirit of the horse is one with my spirit. We will forever be connected by an unbreakable bond. I may not be with them all the time physically, but mentally and spiritually, I am with them always.” ~ unknown Author #newmexicoartist #acrylic #ejmhughes #piper77 #workinprogress #horses #auctionhorse
