As I mentioned in a previous post, one of my intentions/resolutions/goals for 2014 is to unify the division in my work... to integrate my acrylic and pastel styles into a third style that allows the best of both to come together. A semi-abstract style seems most appropriate. This is the third piece in the series of exploration and experimentation of a semi-abstract approach to horses in pastel...
While traveling in northern New Mexico to observe and photograph the Monero mustangs 2 years ago, I took the photo that I used as reference for this painting. The horses were very intent on whatever they were looking at, which I could not see.
