Sable and Silver

Oil on mounted linen – 16 x 20 inches

This painting had no photo reference but I designed it to have two things I love.  One is the exuberance of horses at liberty in a pasture, particularly the young ones who find imaginative ways to cover ground.  I also love subjects and scenes that are backlit.  There can be such intensity when sun comes through hair or grass or leaves.  Both the color and quality of the light changes.
