White Cloud


The rain is still coming down here in Northern California.  The creek is way up and has been for several days.  It makes for a true adventure getting across the creek and out of the valley. I have spent these rainy days in the studio painting except to venture out to feed and bring the horses to the barn.  We all get wet and the horses are full of energy so I step quickly under the yellow slicker. The painting today is of a wild Mustang stallion.  You may remember the post showing the work in progress photo a few weeks back.  I am happy to say it is now finished and ready to enjoy and it made for "A Painting Day".

Absolutely beautiful. I love the golden colors with the white mustang. My grandfather had a farm on the prairies in Manitoba. During the depression, they would go to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and round up some mustangs. He said they could never be trained properly and were always a little bit wild. He loved horses, and didn't make the transition to a tractor very well. I loved his stories.

This is so beautiful and is my new favorite. I can practically feel the wind as it blows through the mane. The colors are exquisite, too.

Love the colors! So unlike the brown palette typically in Western art - nice Ruth!
