Original Oil Painting of White Horses at a Waterfall by T. Bell
This is a large-format horizontal original oil or acrylic painting on canvas, likely dating from the 1970s or 1980s. The composition features two white horses amidst a dramatic tiered waterfall and rocky cliff landscape. The artist utilizes a muted palette dominated by earthy browns, umbers, and crisp whites to create a misty, ethereal atmosphere. One horse is positioned centrally, facing away toward the falls, while a second horse is in the lower right foreground, drinking from the pool. The brushwork alternates between smooth blending in the water's mist and more impasto-like, textured strokes defining the churning white water and jagged rock faces. The piece is signed in a stylized script in the lower-left corner as 'T. Bell'. It is housed in a thin, contemporary metallic silver-tone frame that shows minor surface wear. The canvas appears to be in good overall condition with no visible punctures or significant paint loss, though minor surface dust and natural aging of the varnish layer are consistent with its age. The style suggests a commercial or 'starving artist' gallery piece of the late 20th century, favored for mid-century modern home decor.
