In this original work, Kader Boly captures strength not through motion, but through unwavering presence.

The horse stands grounded, its lowered head and steady stance suggesting resilience and quiet endurance. The title Solid as a Rock reframes the piece—less about carrying weight, and more about the stability and certainty that come from within.

Rendered in clay, acrylic, and oil pastel, the surface is richly layered, giving the form a tactile, almost sculptural quality. Warm earth tones meet bold, gestural lines, reinforcing a sense of permanence and inner strength.

A deeply grounding work, this piece brings a steady, anchoring energy into a space—calm, powerful, and enduring.

Medium: Clay, acrylic, and oil pastel on canvas
Dimensions: 13"W x 13"H

About Kader Boly
Kader Boly is an artist whose work is deeply rooted in his upbringing in Sabce, a village in northern Burkina Faso. Born into a Fulani family of nomadic herders, Boly spent his childhood guiding sheep, goats, and chickens across the plains in search of greener pastures. As the youngest of nine children, and one of only a few in his village to attend school, his early life was shaped by both responsibility and reflection.
Living in close communion with animals and the natural world, Boly developed a profound emotional bond with the land and its rhythms. The beauty of the rainy seasons, the hardships of the dry months, and the fragility of life left lasting impressions. While he loved the lifestyle for the connection it gave him to nature, he also felt a growing restlessness and desire for change, questioning a future that seemed predetermined.
At twelve years old, Boly began drawing as a way to process his thoughts, emotions, and surroundings - an early act of self-expression that would quietly chart his path forward. At twenty, he left West Africa for France, carrying with him the memories, philosophies, and visual language shaped by his childhood.
Today, Boly’s work reflects this journey: a dialogue between heritage and transformation, nature and introspection. His art serves as both preservation and exploration—honoring where he comes from while giving form to the expansive vision that first compelled him to create.

REALLY CUTE SHOE BUT CUT WAY TOO SMALL!
Size: 8, Color: Black Patent
I received the black patent leather shoes today and they are so cute! Sadly I need to return them because they are cut way too small. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 on dress shoes so I ordered the 8. They are so tight across the top that it's uncomfortable as soon as I put them on. They are smaller than a normal size 8 dress shoe. The big toe area is extremely uncomfortable because it doesn't allow any room for it at all, so my big toe just presses against the side and end of the shoe without even walking in them. I have very narrow feet and these still are too small for me. So I am returning them and I already ordered a 8.5 W and hope that will fit much better. The patent leather is very cute and adds just enough dressy that I can wear them with slacks or my Capri jeans. I like the slip on and the cushion foot bed because it feels soft.

Love these flats!
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin, Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin
One of my favorite pair of flats! I’ve had these for several years and they are still comfortable, in good shape and really add a little spice to my outfits. I can wear these all day and not have any foot pain or discomfort as a result. The quality is good, fit is perfect and I tend to have difficulty with shoes due to bunions. Love these!!

I love these shoes so much I had to write a review. So comfortable. Cushioned. Fits perfectly especially if you are more on the wide side. They are soft. Flexible. Easy slip ons you can walk around in all day. I want to try more colors.
