One a cold winter day in the wilderness of the American west, a wild appaloosa horse walks over a hill covered in snow and dry grass. The wind that blows across the plains picks up the horse's mane and tail. The sky appears full of dark clouds, but off to the right, the clouds have broken up enough to let the light of the sun shine through onto this wild lord of the grassy prairie.

I've recently created several artworks featuring appaloosas and this one continues that trend.  This scene though was more about the the environment. I wanted to depict a cold winter day, yet still have a strong light. So, though I have a rather gloomy, overcast sky in the background, I indicated that those clouds were breaking outside the frame off to the right, and the appaloosa's whitish coat does a great job of showing the light.
