“Snow Storm on the Plains” - Equine Mixed Media Artwork

“Snow Storm on the Plains” is a 9x12 acrylic and modeling paste painting that captures the stark beauty of the eastern Colorado plains in winter. The textured acrylic surface reflects the force of a snowstorm, with four horses turned their hind ends towards the brutal wind—doing exactly what nature has equipped them to do to endure the cold. This piece is a tribute to the resilience of Western horses. Their instinctive way of weathering harsh conditions has always struck me as a reminder of grit, strength, and adaptability—qualities that inspire me every time I visit this area of the country.
