About the cover
This painting depicts a horse in profile at sunset. Abstract elements are superimposed upon one another, lending a mythic power to the images. The celestial orb wears a human face and solar winds seem to impel its fiery rays. “My theme depends on my mood and keeps changing with time. Right now I am working on music meditation. Here I explore human involvement with music in any form. I want to portray the joy people derive from meditation.” —Sunil Jaiswal
Blue Horse. Oil on canvas, 24" x 24", Sunil Jaiswal. Sunil’s paintings can be viewed and purchased at www.novica.com.
