Sagebrush Zain Swish, 9" x 12" oil on panel. Framed. This painting is available through Equis Art Gallery
My second painting of South Steens Mustang, Zain. My intention with this painting was to convey soft heat. When I found Zain grazing, it was midday with the sun high overhead. While I am not a representational artist in landscapes, my goal is usually to attempt to convey a feel of what my surroundings were at the time I referenced my subject in life. In this instance, while the hot sun was overhead, there was still a softness to the scene in life as I saw it. A quiet moment of a single horse grazing with his one mare. Given the heat, there were flies, and the swish of the tail provided some temporary relief.
