Swimming In The River

This swimming horse is an oil and encaustic painting.

I used to work part-time for a horse ranch that swam horses for their therapy and exercise. This was in Page Springs, AZ and most of the horses were owned by professional cowboys. I took many photos of the horses swimming – for future paintings.

Framed size: 5 1/4″ x 7 1/4″ x 1 1/4″  (133.35mm x 184.15mm) with a light wooden frame. No glass or plexi.

As with any art work please keep it out of the direct sunlight.

$80

Product Description

An encaustic painting is achieved by melting wax and varnish over a hot plate and slowing applying it while melting it with a hot gun. It’s very time consuming but rewarding. I then paint my image on top of the encaustic.
