Thunder in the Valley

from $950.00

20×24 inches | Acrylic on canvas

This piece began with a simple idea: to place these powerful horses against the quiet strength of the mountains I’m drawn to. I wanted that contrast—the energy of their movement set against the stillness of the valley.

As the scene came together, I found myself focused on the light. The last rays of the sun catch in their manes, softening the moment and bringing a sense of calm to all that motion. It feels like a pause within the thunder.

This painting took more time and care than most of my work. It’s not my usual landscape, but that’s part of why I’ve grown attached to it. There’s something honest in stepping outside what feels familiar and letting the piece find its own rhythm.
