About "Zen Horses"

In the last year I began a series of brush paintings that I entitled Zen Horses. I thought I would share my thoughts about the intention of the series. Many people have felt a strong attraction toward Zen Horse so I offer you this perspective.
The images are intentionally simple. . The simplicity of the horse images and the open space metaphorically speaks to the quiet uncomplicated, uncluttered mind and a state of presence, in acceptance with what is. The horse itself represents grace, strength, courage and endurance and the eternal one life. The forms embody stillness and calm, with an outward focus representing inward contemplation and consideration and perhaps personal growth and an evolution of consciousness towards a harmonious balance with nature and environment.
The absence of or minimal amount of facial detail represents a loss of ego and analytical mind, eliminating mans separation from the whole.
There is space within these images for individual meditation and interpretation.
Perhaps you can find an interpretation that speaks to you.
