A buckskin coated horse in Native American war paint and feathers watches the dawn from a rocky outcrop amidst a serene landscape in the wilderness of the American West. The horse has a unique appearance, with striking features that include long, wild black hair, especially its mane, which flows with the wind, giving it a sense of motion. Its coat is adorned with various colorful symbols and markings in red and blue, including handprints, symbols, and lines.
The background showcases a picturesque setting during what could be either dawn or dusk. The sky is a blend of gentle blues and warm oranges, with fluffy white clouds scattered about. The sun casts a golden hue over the landscape, highlighting the tall evergreen trees in the distance and the vibrant red grasses in the foreground. The ambiance created by the sunlight lends a tranquil and calming effect to the entire scene. The silhouette of the mountain range can be seen in the far distance, providing depth to the image.
A guide to the meanings behind the markings:
Lines on its face represent victories in battle.
For keen senses, it has the sun painted around its eye and circles around its nostrils.
The blue circles are hail to rain down upon enemies.
The arrow on its neck is a sign of victory.
The handprint on it hindquarters means it has accomplished a mission.
A symbol for a snake is on its hind leg, and above that, blue horses for captured mounts.
A cross on its flank is for escaping an ambush.
From the artist: For this work, I was working on a visiual representation of war and piece. The horse may be painted for war, but I've placed it in a peaceful situation of watching a quiet sunrise.
Thanks for looking,
