Here is the starting point for my 2026 Chinese New Year painting, titled "Kindling the New Year."
There is a powerful magic in the shadow and spark of the Fire Horse. For this piece, I wanted to focus on the "Hearth of the Horse"—that internal furnace that drives us forward even in the darkest times. Painting this fiery glow against the deep, dark tones of a dark brown horse feels like capturing a secret, ancestral strength.
🎨 The Process: This is an oil painting on paper with a radiant golden gesso background. This is currently at the lineart stage, and I intend to let that gold shine through in the final background to frame the "ember" within the horse’s chest.
I hope to share the finished piece with you this Sunday, January 25th. A little light to carry with us into 2026. ✨
