Piece description from the artist
For "Out of the Blue," I wanted to capture the horse's forward motion and exaggerate the horse's red color so that its form would pop. To complement the red, I chose shades of vibrant blue for the background and green for the foreground in similar tonal values.
I love using bold colors to create mood and adding lots of texture to my paintings for interest, dimension, and depth. The fact that this horse has a bright white blaze was a bonus because it is a natural focal point and brings the viewer's eyes to the head of the horse.
The natural world and her love for animals inspire Dara Daniel's Acrylic on canvas, mixed-media paintings. She combines bold colors and shapes and lots of textures to create fun, playful interpretations of horses and other animal spirits.
For all her paintings, she combines all the available elements of design to express rhythms and energy and moods and emotion. Dara explains, "Each painting experience is unique yet, my goal for all my paintings is to capture a degree of nature's passionate spirit, joy, and beauty."
