Spirits of Mustangs Past
A windswept pinto mustang gazes toward a herd of ghostly horses forming in the clouds above the Western prairie.
Spirits of Mustangs Past
A wild pinto mustang stands on a grassy rise beneath a broad blue sky. Its black mane and tail stream in the wind as it looks toward a herd of enormous white horses taking shape among the drifting clouds.
Spirits of Mustangs Past imagines the cloud horses as the lingering spirits of wild mustangs that once roamed the American West. Their pale forms appear to move across the sky, while the living horse below seems to sense their presence in the wind.
The artwork began as an experiment in creating recognizable shapes from clouds. A boldly patterned paint horse was placed in the foreground to contrast with the white spectral herd and help reveal the equine forms above. The result combines Western wildlife, symbolic imagery, and a dreamlike atmosphere.
