Charcoal black and orange-flecked horse head acrylic painting

A grey horse turns its head to the right, ears up and eye dark, while its black mane streams out to the left as if caught in a strong wind. The cream face and white blaze carry the most light and sit in the upper right. The mane is long, fine-ended flicks of black and navy that thin toward the left edge, carrying chips of orange, red and ochre like sparks.

Neck and chest are broad flat knife planes in slate, navy and cream, stacked rather than blended, over a pale cream-grey haze.

IA#981 is an original impressionist animal painting showing expressive knife-stroke horse head with flying black mane and orange flecks, hand-painted in acrylic on canvas with a heavily textured impasto surface. It is painted to order in any size; the 10 standard sizes run from 24×24 in (61×61 cm) to 72×72 in (183×183 cm). Painting takes about 10 days and delivery 5–7 days by DHL, FedEx or UPS; the minimum order is one piece.

A square format with the head off-centre needs room around it: behind a reception desk, opposite the chair at the head of a boardroom, or above a low cabinet in a study where it is seen from the chair. Warm neutrals such as taupe plaster, camel leather and cognac velvet bring out the orange flecks, and it also holds against concrete grey. The horse looks right, so set it left of centre on a long wall and its gaze runs into the room.

Specified for gallery & retail, workspace & office, lobby & reception and home office; it reads as dramatic and bold.

These share its palette, format and surface, so the three hang as a set: a run along a hotel corridor, a pair either side of a bed with this one between, or one per suite on the same floor.

Trade prices for IA#981 are quoted per order rather than listed, and come back within one business day. Four things set the figure:

Size

Price follows canvas area. The standard sizes run from 24×24 in to 72×72 in; any other size is quoted the same way.

Finish

Rolled canvas is the lowest-cost way to buy and ship. Stretched, ready to hang, costs more, and a frame costs the most.

Surface

Thick impasto uses more paint and takes longer to dry than flat brushwork, which the price reflects.

Quantity
