11x14 oil on stretched linen
This is a painting of a few of the wild mustang mares in Kiowa's band, at the Sandwash Basin HMA, May 2012. The little paint looks pregnant. I don't know her name or if she in fact foaled later in the summer. What a treat it was to watch them come in and drink!!
Update: Dec 28, 2012
I have found out that the bay paint mare in the middle's name is Vogue. She didn't foal this past year but has a sorrel two year old filly, Gem, with whom she maintains a close bond. There is a helicopter round up scheduled for fall of 2013 at Sandwash Basin. If you're not aware of how brutal these roundups can be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=Vw8iX7LO8g0&NR=1 . I hope that all these magnificent horses survive.
