20" x 36" x 1", oil on stretched cotton canvas. Custom framed.
It’s difficult to describe driving into Jackson, Wyoming, and seeing mountains rise instantly from nowhere, forming one of the most iconic spans of the alpine West. The sheer scale and suddenness of the landscape inspired this painting.
After moving to a small ranching area near the Colorado-Wyoming border, I fell in love with the horse. Recently, painting horses from life has both knocked me on my face as an artist and taught me so much about portraying their personalities within the environment. Every horse in this painting exists in life and was studied through plein air work and field photographs.
I have a soft spot for cremellos, with the warmth of their orange-tinted coats against a landscape of cool blues. The natural complementary relationship between horse and mountain almost seems made for a painting.
This piece is a celebration of the West in all its glory, personality, brilliance, and power.
