This small painting is showing a shadow cast from the frame across the top. This is an impressionistic painting and is much faster to paint so this shows in the pricing. with this kind of painting there may or may not be any real likeness to the horse used as a model as it is more of a quick impression if the horse and not a portrait. These are great for small spaces, like halls and bathrooms, etc where you might want to carry thru a horse theme. They also make great gifts. This painting is unavailable, but fun frolicking views of your own horses could be done this way for little fillers throughout your home. Because this style is muchless expensive, no likeness is guaranteed for these paintings
