| "Spirit" Abstract Expressionsist Originial by Linda L Martin Acrylic on Canvas 5" by 7" $265.00 on Etsy |
I had never seen the Nature programs about the wild mustang Cloud. Yesterday, I found them on the Nature website and watched all three of them in reverse order. It was both inspiring and validating.
There is this posturing that goes on when stallions meet. Or when a stallion wants to court a mare. My painting depicts this in an expressionist style. Meaning, I don’t copy a photo or use a reference I paint from my feelings right on the canvas. This painting is executed in earth tones and white. A limited pallet of raw umber, raw sienna, burnt umber and white. I used a tiny bit of burnt sienna to accent the areas that needed red. This painting is now available for sale in my Etsy Wild Side Store.
It is a 5” by 7” acrylic on canvas and is signed in pencil on the back with a signature in paint on the front.
It sells for $265.00

Thank you Sue and Roxanne. Im so glad you are enjoying my newest painting. PurplePony, Thanks. I had no idea that Breyer had done a modle of him. Of course I havent collected breyer horses since the 1960s lol. Tells you how old some of my collection is. I saved them so I could use them to teach drawing.
If you would like to see the rest of the Cloud series you can find it on the Nature website:
