Sky by Wendy Herrmann

Wendy Herrmann's painting presents a pale grey horse rendered on a uniquely shaped, wooden palette-like surface. The horse, facing left, is depicted in a standing pose with its head slightly lowered, conveying a sense of quietude. The artist employs soft, blended brushstrokes to capture the horse's form and the subtle variations in its coat. The background is a textured mix of earthy tones, including browns, reds, and hints of yellow, creating a dynamic and abstract backdrop that contrasts with the horse's serene demeanor. The unconventional shape of the support, with its rounded edges and a hole in the upper left corner, adds a distinctive, handcrafted quality to the piece, emphasizing the artist's personal touch and the unique nature of the artwork. The overall effect is one of quiet elegance and a celebration of the horse's natural beauty, juxtaposed with the expressive, almost abstract quality of the background.
