This painting hangs in the house of a family where the husband loves chaos and the wife craves order. Because the husband is so strong-willed the poor wife doesn't often get the neat and tidy world she so desperately wants. But when she gazes at Blue Horse she sees a stylized version of a peaceful draft horse, calmly trotting toward a field for a day's work. This helps restore a sense of serenity and gives her the strength to face the chaotic challenges of her adventure-loving family.
To depict motion, I borrow technique from the great abstract expressionist master, Marcel Duchamp.
