Piece description from the artist
This Acrylic on canvas portrays a single white horse with patches rusty red. In the background are washes of deep green and violet with Sienna and gray to complement the colors of the horse.
The beautiful horse in this painting is captured in motion and appears to be coming towards the viewer. To achieve a three-dimensional quality for this painting, I first applied layers of Acrylic paste with a palette knife to form the horse and add texture before adding layers of washes. The spirit of this horse became perceptible as the painting came to fruition.
The natural world and her love for animals inspire Dara Daniel's Acrylic on canvas, mixed-media paintings. She combines bold colors and shapes and lots of textures to create fun, playful interpretations of horses and other animal spirits.
For all her paintings, she combines all the available elements of design to express rhythms and energy and moods and emotion. Dara explains, "Each painting experience is unique yet, my goal for all my paintings is to capture a degree of nature's passionate spirit, joy, and beauty."
