A new abstract horse painting emerges...


Abstract Horse #2
11x14 oil on linen
This painting is sold.

Been busy with my real world art career, but was moved to do this richly colored abstract horse painting.

I really like painting on linen, it gives the piece a rich look that can't be had with regular canvas, and the paint glides on like a dream!


One of the paintings in my home that most everyone comments about happens to be one of my very first works, andit's of a dark horse silhouette on a background of graduated color from cool to warm.


I've since moved on to much more realistic paintings, but I thought it would be fun to recreate this look. Back then I had used a reference photo from a calendar, this one uses one of my own reference photos, and this time it's a paint horse, (and a much better painting than that early work, if I do say so myself!)

Hello A.B.the C.
I have enjoyed seeing your work despite you working behind a curtain. Also I enjoyed seeing your real art world stuff. Looking forward to seeing more of you and your in cognito art. It looks great!
