Sweet Mare
Have you had a sweet mare in your life? Perhaps the one you learned to ride with? The one that patiently carried you even as fussed with your reins too much, repeatedly picked up the wrong lead and all around bobbed along until you sort of figured it out?
Here she is. This particular mare taught me to be patient and kind, firm yet pliable and most importantly, gave me confidence.
A favorite quote about a mare:
"Once you have won a mare's heart, you have won all of her. In exchange for your best—and nothing less—she will give you everything." - Lindsay Paulsen
I hope you can see the patience in her eyes.
This HUGE painting is done entirely with a palette knife. The paint is thick and full of unexpected colors. (see detail) The "Carolina blue" background is the perfect pop.
From a distance you get a colorful painting of a rather beautiful horse; up close there's a lot going on.
36 x 48" oil and cold wax on linen.
Gallery wrapped. Edges to be painted the color of your choice - black, that blue or white.
