This is an original artwork depicting a colorful horse as his friend, a male meadowlark, perches on his mane. 
 
24"x30" acrylic painting on canvas. 
Deep gallery-style sides are painted translucent gold to reflect the gold gestural marks that accent the composition. 
 
I always like to imagine that animals have this interesting relationship in nature. Creating a more dream-like image in my mind than is possible in reality is something I often do; and in this piece, the horse doesn't seem to mind that his pal is using his mane as a resting place.
