This is Meteor, a bachelor stallion of the Sand Wash Basin. Meteor was born in 2015. His sire is Renegade and his dam is Riddler. He is the only palomino pinto in the Basin. Though he is currently running wild and free with a group of bachelors, hopefully one day soon he is going to become a band stallion and start a family of his own. He is magnificent! I am grateful to Christine Beaumont for allowing me to use her photo as a reference, and to take it from a partly cloudy day to a rainy one with roiling clouds. As I started painting Meteor I was trying to think of potential titles for the painting. Meteor Shower popped into my head and I went with it. That meant changing the background considerably from where it started.
