A vivid piece, The Scarlet, immediately draws the eyes with its brilliant colors and stark contrast. In the forefront, the majestic horse looks ready to take charge and gallop off the canvas. The artist’s skill creates a sense of movement and action, and the background contributes to that perception as well. The longer one views the piece the more details appear in the dramatic red background; gradually the swirling strokes and designs become more apparent and add to the experience.
