The Completed Painting: “Wild Horses”

The big reveal of the completed painting of “Wild Horses”. I am happy to say that it was already accepted into a shoitw, the Art of the Horse Art Exhibit. Getting into shows and exhibits takes a lot of work. So, it’s always a win when your artwork is accepted.

These horses appeared as I listened to some magical music and I loved being in that place in my mind that the music took me to. It was like I could relax and float. Awesome.

I grew up with horses and loved riding them in the desert hills around our house. When they were tired of us riding them, they would gallop as fast as they could to get home. Luckily, I don’t think us kids ever fell off, but we had to hold on for dear life!

Have you ever fallen off a horse? (I have, a couple of times!)

See the evolution of this piece from sneak peek to idea exploration to paint spatter to preliminary sketches to inked images to this post of the completed painting.
