Track That Horse is an emotive portrait of one of earth's
most beautiful and majestic animals. This original canvas painting depicts a
horse, the focus being on an the horses face as it gallops across some unknown
plains. The artist here has chosen to make the painting more dream-like and
impressionistic than literal and the viewer is treated to a portrait rich in
emotion and full of telling details. The view of this beautiful horse is one
very close, lending the portrait a high level of intensity. Due to this
up-close-and-personal portrayal, the viewer is treated to rich details such as
dramatic shadows and the rippling effect of powerful muscles moving just below
the skin. So much attention was given to this attention that even each
individual hair, thrust backwards in the wind, is distinct and delicate. From
the wide, doe-like eyes to the pitch colored, flaring nostrils, ever bit of
this painting is lovingly crafted and quite moving. The colors are somewhat
limited, but enhanced through carefully use of light and shadow. The horse is
depicted in a series of velvety browns and luminous cream colors. The eyes and
folds of the ears are a stark black that provides a compelling contrast to the
other colors. On the right side, the animal is mostly in shadow, yet its
contours are highlighted by a gentle beam of light. The background of the
painting is an eye catching black that allows the subject to stand out.
The design of Track That Horse is simple and
straightforward: a single piece of canvas stretched carefully over a frame. The
painting has a great deal of height, emphasizing the stature of horse and
allowing a more complete view of the length of the horse's head, from tips of
the ear to the end of the muzzle. While this painting is quite tall, it is not
terribly lengthy. This makes it ideal for all sorts of wall spaces,
particularly those that have a narrow gap that requires a painting arranged in
this manner. If you enjoy this painting and the lovely natural subject it so
lovingly depicts, you will likely find more original pieces that you enjoy in
