Horse Rider at Sunset

Acrylic painting on canvas, 40×30 cm

The reflections of sunset and the transition from beach to deeper waters mingle to soft colours. The sharp contrast of the horse and its rider in monotonous black still contain their dynamics; is the horse looking to the left at coming waves or forward to its own reflections….?
