Piece description from the artist
Being with horses is such a calming and humbling experience. They're very noble creatures, smart, and very curious. This handsome grey fellow kept following me around after I patted him nicely around his head and neck, he really loved the attention. He never realized he'd end up immortalized on canvas like this, I hope I did him proudly.
On this painting, I did something interesting with the painting technique: I made each brushstroke go only horizontally. There are a few wispy brushstrokes for the tail, but otherwise every stroke only goes side-to-side. It's a challenge, but it's fun and always comes out with a lovely effect.
Christopher Clark specializes in oil paintings of many subjects: romance, dancing, music, Italy, animals, and cityscapes. His impressionist style is compelled by bold brushwork, brilliant colors, and a luminous sense of light.
Christopher Clark has studied art his entire life, ever since he was a boy watching Bob Ross painting shows on TV (that wacky guy with the afro painting "happy little trees"). His art studies and travels have taken him all over the world in pursuit of culture, art knowledge, and painting subjects.
Christopher's favorite subject to paint is light itself, meaning anything becomes a beautiful subject if the light is stunning. Christopher's paintings are collected all over the world, and he is available for commissions of all kinds.
