Two Horses Grazing with Mountains

Two horses graze beneath the Smoky Mountains. Trees and grasses hold the foreground in detail, while the ridges beyond soften into the distance. The contrast gives this quiet scene its sense of space.

I was drawn to the stillness of the horses within such an expansive landscape. In the original painting, I built color through thin layers of egg tempera, allowing fine pigment and texture to gather on the surface without losing the softness of the mountain air.
