Kiger Run is inspired by my summer trip to the Kiger HMA in Eastern Oregon. The stallion in this piece was intensely occupied with guarding his herd, driving off any encroaching bachelors with swift, commanding movement.

In the close-up passages of the painting, you’ll notice my reductive techniques and subtle traces of the initial sketch—I enjoy letting the history of the process remain visible. Hints of mauve weave through the composition, echoing the wildflowers that were in bloom during our visit.

Yupo proved to be the perfect surface for this image; its responsiveness to dripping paint amplifies the sense of forward motion and energy in the animals, giving the piece a dynamic presence and a touch of drama.
