This 20 x 20 inch oil on canvas painting is inspired by my love for animals. This palomino horse was stepping into the light out from under the shade of the stables, where the light fell on him in a stunning way. His hair seemed to glow and I knew I had to paint him. When I painted him I wanted to look at the way the light was falling on him in a lovely halo, keeping the focus around the details of his face. I’m no stranger to painting horses, as I’ve painted for the Calgary Stampede Poster Competition and their Western Arts Scholarship –painting western art is always as comforting as returning home. I tried to imbue some of that Stampede spirit into this painting too, using the Stampede red in the rider’s shirt as a subtle nod. [Frame not included]
