Horse Herd in Autumn Painting: 'The Calm Before Winter'

$1,500.00

‘The Calm Before Winter’ by Alexandra Verboom Fritz.

Original oil painting on a 18 x 24 x 1.5 inch canvas.

A herd of horses gathers along a creek in the waning days of autumn. Bathed in soft light, they pause at the water's edge as the landscape settles into the final calm before winter arrives.

Inspired by a herd near Mt. Sentinel Ranch in Longview, Alberta, this piece reflects the changing seasons that shape ranch life. It captures the brief transition between the abundance of autumn and the demands of the colder months ahead.

Framed in a unstained wood floater frame.

This piece captures a serene moment of anticipation and preparation, where a herd of horses pauses along a creek in late autumn light. I employed layered brushwork with water-soluble oils to evoke a strong interplay of light and shadow enhancing the mood of the scene, representing the dualities present in the life of a rancher: the brightness of hope as well as the somber realities of nature's cycles. This contrast invites viewers to ponder the balance between work and rest, activity and contemplation, as they navigate seasonal changes in their own lives.
