Description
This painting is a striking and expressive equine portrait, rendered in a highly textured, abstract style.
The horse's head is the central focus, bowed slightly and gazing downward with a sense of calm or introspection.
The brushstrokes are bold and layered, with a palette dominated by cool greys, whites, and muted yellows,
interspersed with small pops of red and vivid yellow blocks that give the composition energy and contrast.
The background is largely abstract, with thick, painterly patches that suggest movement or depth but don't distract from the subject.
Richard has used a mix of defined and blurred edges, allowing the form of the horse to emerge from the surface in a way that feels both raw and sophisticated.
There's a strong sense of mood and atmosphere—it's emotional without being sentimental.
The painting blends figurative and abstract elements, offering a modern take on animal portraiture.
It feels personal, almost poetic, and could be interpreted as a meditation on grace or strength.
