Willpower - Original Painting
Artist: Michelle Anderst
Oil on Wood
30" wide x 24" tall
Note from the Artist: Willpower captures the ecosystem of the Bighorn Sheep. The ram is surrounded by a wreath of plants that serve as his food in a desert landscape that is desolate at first glance; Western Stoneseed, Red Clover, Long-sepal Globemallow, Willow, Mariposa Lily, Russian Thistle and Antelope Bitterbrush. Bighorn Sheep are masters of water conservation, capable of surviving long stretches without direst water sources by drawing moisture from these native plants. The glyph, meaning “Willpower”, is a symbol created by the artist which captures the Sheep’s strength, adaptability and power. The symbol also embodies the archetype of Aries.
