….From an East Hampton, New York estate comes this vibrant watercolor capturing two horses in full gallop. The artist's loose, impressionistic style and bold color palette create a sense of movement and energy that's quintessentially American plein air painting.
The Art of Equestrian Portraiture
Horses have captivated artists for centuries, from the classical equestrian paintings of George Stubbs to the dynamic impressionist works of Edgar Degas and the bold abstractions of Franz Marc. This piece continues that rich tradition while bringing a distinctly contemporary American sensibility to the subject.
The challenge in equestrian art lies in capturing both the physical power and graceful beauty of these magnificent animals in motion. This artist succeeds brilliantly - rendering the horses mid-stride with anatomical understanding while using color and gesture to convey their spirit and vitality. The semi-abstract approach allows the viewer to feel the movement rather than simply observe it, creating an emotional connection to these noble creatures.
About This Piece
Working with spontaneous brushwork and luminous washes, the artist renders these horses in cream and golden tones accented with unexpected coral, purple, and blue - capturing light and shadow on their powerful forms. Set against a brilliant blue sky and sun-drenched pasture in warm ochers and greens, the composition radiates freedom and vitality. The loose watercolor technique perfectly suits the subject, with fluid paint echoing the flowing movement of the galloping horses.
East Hampton Provenance
East Hampton has been home to generations of distinguished American artists. This signed work carries the artistic heritage of Long Island's storied East End, where horse country meets art colony - making equestrian subjects a natural choice for local artists.
