Feral Horses
“Feral Horses”; Watercolor and Colored Pencil; 14in x 20in, (2006). Private Collection
A commissioned mixed media piece capturing the dynamic energy of a running herd of feral horses, based on a reference photograph. The composition contrasts a striking gray horse among the bay-colored herd, their manes and tails flowing dramatically against a clear blue sky. Detailed rendering in watercolor and colored pencil brings out the muscular definition and varied coat textures of the horses while dust kicks up beneath their hooves.
