Blanco

I painted this horse from an image in an old photography magazine. 

The photo was of a group of wild horses encircled, as if

awaiting a storm. The white horse struck me, first because

it was the only light colored horse in the group, but second 

because of the incredible  sadness in the face. The wild/renegade

nature of its hard life is seen in the scars on the face,

and weariness in the eyes.

It is painted in black gesso, white acrylic, and charcoal,

16x12 canvas, continuing the black & white series I've been working on.
