'Soft Eyes from Soft Hands' is an original oil painting of a bay gelding horse against a dramatic dark backdrop. The bay’s eye is soft and trusting revealing the nature of the relationship between horse and rider. The unseen cowboy has molded the gelding into an honest and gentle partner in a way that can only be achieved by riding with consistently soft hands. I used a dramatically dark colour pallet strongly dominated by burnt umber with contrasting touches of white and ultramarine blue to capture the horse’s trickling blaze, the silver on the tack and the blue mecate.
