Running with the horses by Durand Seay
The horse symbolizes freedom, an expression of free will. This represents a faith in the direction of where one will go when running with abandon seeking open windows.

With motion and line playing the eye is drawn to the action, yet the window on the side calls with silence to be acknowledged.
I really love the gestural strokes of blue in the horses. I believe this brings motion and a dream like quality to this art work. Your skill in using oil paint; the color palette and brush work is excellent! The window serves as a punctuation mark for me bringing a sense of mystery to this work. What is out there or who is watching I ask myself. It also serves to bring the viewers eye back around and down to the horses! I believe you have achieved your intention of motion, freedom and abandonment within this art work. Looking forward to seeing more!
: Beautiful; the artist has achieved the balance in all respects. Bravo
A lovely new take on an old theme.
