“Horse No. 3” is rendered in warm copper tones, soft neutrals, and deep shadowed hues, capturing the horse in a moment of quiet strength and attentive presence. The forward gaze and subtle turn of the head create a sense of awareness and connection, while expressive mark-making through the mane and contours introduces movement and vitality. The balance between structure and looseness allows the form to feel both grounded and alive, inviting a contemplative engagement with the subject.
