This little 6x8 oil is a companion piece to the vertical painting I did a few posts below. It is the same cowboy on the same horse. Placing the horse and rider against the backlit hazy/misty background gave me an opportunity to use the nice blue grey of the horse, the red shirt and the body of the rider as a silhouette thereby creating a effect of light. I purposely left the landscape, foreground and distance somewhat sketchy as it is all secondary information and supports the focus on the horse and rider.
this painting is for sale at auction. You can go here for more information.
