Painted by the Prairie — Wyoming Wild Horse Portrait

From $450. Click photo for printing options and purchase

Painted by the Prairie is one of the most intimately beautiful portraits in Tamara Gooch's Wyoming wild horse collection — a chestnut and white pinto mustang caught in close three-quarter view, the warm light of the open range washing across the bold pattern of his coat in tones of burnt sienna, cream, and the particular dusty warmth of the Wyoming desert in full sun. The composition is a study in the beauty of the pinto pattern at close range — the boundary between chestnut and white tracing its irregular, organic path across the horse's shoulder and flank with the spontaneous design of something made by nature rather than intention, each marking unique, unrepeatable, as individual as a fingerprint. The horse's head is carried low and forward, the windswept mane trailing across the neck and face, the dark eye quiet and downcast — an animal not performing for the camera but simply moving through its world with the easy, unself-conscious physicality of a creature that has never been asked to be anything other than what it is. The warm palette — so different in feeling from the cool grey tones of the black and white wild horse portraits — gives this image a richness and intimacy that makes it one of the most personally resonant pieces in the collection, the color and the closeness together creating the feeling of a genuine encounter rather than a photograph. On ChromaLuxe Metal or Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic, the warmth and color depth of Painted by the Prairie make it a naturally beautiful and versatile statement piece — a companion to Ember Range and Prairie Soul in the color wild horse portrait grouping.

Limited edition of 50.
