Two White Horses




5×7, Oil over rough acrylic base on hardboard
For sale without frame only, $30


I was standing in a large corral of horses one dark night when a fierce lightening storm stuck! The awesome power of nature and stampeding beasts literally shook the ground where I stood and all I could do was get out of the way or die. The thrill and fear of that bigger than life moment is now embedded in my memory. I imagine our ancient ancestors had many such moments. Fortunately for us the artists among them were careful to record them on the nearest cave wall. This small painting is a recreation of one unforgettable moment on my cave wall.
