About this work

This painting shows a brown horse standing on a hillside. The background is blurry with green, blue, and yellow brushstrokes. The horse looks like it’s moving, but the colors around it are messy and rough. The brushstrokes are thick, almost like the paint was scraped on. This makes the scene feel alive but not perfect. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
