Original Horse and Snake Acrylic Painting on Canvas

This is an original representational acrylic painting on a square-format canvas. The composition features a chestnut-colored horse with a prominent white blaze or 'bald face' and white stockings, captured in a dynamic rearing or startled movement. The horse is situated in a naturalistic outdoor setting with a background of lush green foliage and a rocky foreground. A notable narrative element is depicted in the lower right corner, where a snake is visible on the ground, likely the cause of the horse's dramatic reaction. The style is contemporary folk-realism, characterized by soft brushwork and a bright, saturated color palette utilizing various shades of green, brown, and ochre. The painting demonstrates a focus on texture, particularly in the rendering of the horse's mane and tail, as well as the dappled light hitting the background trees. The canvas appears to be unframed, showing raw edges. The condition of the paint film seems stable with no visible cracking or flaking, though there is a Slight shadow at the top suggesting the work is currently exhibited in a casual indoor environment. No artist signature is clearly visible on the front of the piece. The craftsmanship reflects an emerging or hobbyist level of technical skill, prioritizing narrative expression and vibrant color usage.
