This week I've chosen to do a landscape shot, with two horses grazing in the distance. The colors favor a realistic world with blue sky and green grass, but the terrain is somewhat unrealistic with strange foliage, distorted clouds, and mysterious mountains.
I did a similar painting earlier this year, called "Lone Cow on Hana Ranch". While "Lone Cow" and "Piece 50" share a familiar pasture, the feeling evoked is very different. "Lone Cow" depicts a white cow grazing in solitude, as if he's the only soul left in the world. "Piece 50" portrays two horses roaming the field together, content and happy in their peaceful paradise.
Everyone has their days of solitude and their days of companionship.
"Piece 50" by Renee Coates. Oil on canvas, 6" x 6".
