Four Color Horse
In Four Color Horse, Susan Rothenberg uses bold shapes and colors to capture the energy of a horse—an ancient symbol of strength and movement. The painting becomes a reflection on balance—how well-being comes from aligning our physical, emotional, and inner lives. Four Color Horse reminds us that wholeness isn’t about being perfect but about staying in tune with ourselves.
