Sunset Rider

Description

Open Edition

Riding into the sunset with style and grace. This painting was inspired by my latest black and white equine artworks. I had an old painting that I was never happy with because it was unbalanced, but I loved the colours. So I decided to mix it up a bit and combine my older artwork with a monotone dressage painting. The contrast of the monotone horse and rider and the bright sunset colours compliment each other beautifully.

I used loose brushstrokes which created a sense of movement and artist freedom to this piece. I added a hint of prussian blue rather than black and white for the horse and rider as I always feel the coolness of prussian blue enhances the warm colours of the background.
