Dara's Fine Art

“Gentle Spirit” is an Acrylic on canvas of a single white horse. I loved the gentle and transparently curious gaze of this horse and felt inspired to capture its character and demeanor. To begin this painting, I drew the bold form of this horse in relation to the negative shapes within a 30 by 30-inch square format. Then after layers of colors, I decided the final colors be off-white for the background and tones of warm greens for the foreground. This painting has lots of gritty texture that I created with Acrylic molding paste, giving this piece a raw and primitive quality.
