Dressage and art are both about "Balance"


In dressage, the term balance is described as the relative distribution of the weight of horse and rider laterally and longitudinally. With training the horse learns to move with his base of support narrowed laterally and shortened longitudinally in order to become more mobile and more easily influenced less and less aids from the rider.

Balance in art refers to the sense of distribution of perceived visual weights that offset one another. We feel more comfortable and find it more pleasing when the parts of an artwork seem to balance each other.

Using a very limited range palette with interesting yet rhythmical paint effects allowed this work to have a solid balanced feeling. Increased skills and training (both in art and riding) lead to finding and keeping balance more easily!

This ready to hang, high resolution gallery wrap canvas horse print is hand stretched onto a deep wood frame.

Please let me know what color float frame in the notes section at check out - thanks!
