"Prairie Paint" by Jimmy McDonald

This item is an original oil on canvas painting titled "Prairie Paint" by the artist Jimmy McDonald. The artwork depicts a brown and white pinto or "paint" horse standing in a vibrant field of blue and red wildflowers under a dramatic, moody, and clouded sky. The painting demonstrates a Western aesthetic with a focus on traditional equine realism. It is housed in a substantial, multi-tiered dark wood frame that features unique rustic accents, including leather lace detailing on the lower right corner, which is characteristic of high-quality Western-themed decor. A small metal nameplate centered at the bottom identifies the piece and the artist. The construction of the frame appears robust, though there are visible small nicks, scratches, and minor finish loss along the edges and corners, suggesting some age or use in an estate setting. The canvas itself appears well-stretched and intact, with the artist's use of rich, saturated blues and earthy browns showing excellent contrast. This piece likely dates to the late 20th century, capturing the enduring popularity of contemporary Western Americana art.
