Two Horses in a pasture with sunlight. A simple composition with color dominance, interesting shapes, and uneven intervals. In the reference photograph, there was a fence in front of the horses. The fence also blocked a viewer from entering the painting. I took out the fence so you could see the horses, and I added diagonal brush strokes to lead the viewer into the field.
The sun is high and slightly behind this pony and creates a wonderful light edge on the horse's back that tells us it's a sunny day. This horse was spotted (no pun intended) in a pasture near Prosser, WA.
