This striking original oil painting titled *"Mountain Horses"* by Jack Atkins captures the timeless spirit of the American West with serene, painterly elegance. Measuring **32" H x 46" W x 1.25" D, the composition features two horses—one chestnut and one black-and-white pinto—set against a sweeping backdrop of the majestic Taos Mountain ridges under a sky brushed with drifting clouds.

Atkins’ use of light and shadow brings a compelling sense of realism and depth to the scene, while his soft brushwork gives the tall grasses and distant peaks a dreamlike quality. The dynamic between the horses—one grazing, the other gazing—adds a quiet narrative and natural rhythm to the piece.

Executed in oil on wood panel and finished with Damar varnish for archival protection and a soft luster, this work is signed by the artist on the front and titled, dated, and signed on the reverse. Dated 2007, "Mountain Horses" is a beautiful example of contemporary Western and equestrian art, ideal for collectors who appreciate Southwest landscapes and rustic elegance.
