Description
A purple horse and its small black-and-white companion walk a pale grey path flanked by deep green hills beneath a vivid cerulean sky — and the world they inhabit is unmistakably enchanted. The horse, rendered in rich violet with a sky-blue halter, bows its head toward the little dog at its side, and the same blue lead connects them both, a tender thread of belonging. What truly electrifies the composition are the poppies: bold, wheel-like blooms in crimson and pink, their dark dotted centers lending them a graphic, almost hypnotic quality. Several float freely against the blue sky, while others are mounted on small white and blue canvases attached to the hillside — a playful mixed-media gesture that pushes the work beyond painting into something more dimensional and inventive.
