In crafting this piece, I merged acrylics, oil, and charcoal to unleash an emotional spectrum—infusing expressionist boldness with surreal twists. I layered vibrant textures and colors, conjuring up an energetic landscape that both grounds and mystifies. This painting emanates a raw, untamed spirit—a gallop through the subconscious—beckoning viewers to embrace the ride of the unfettered soul. It’s sure to bring a surge of passion and color to any space.
As I was painting this composition, my friend John told me that he was chatting with Clint Eastwood about his love of dogs. Clint Eastwood is the love of my life in a plutonic world. Therefore, I felt I had to dedicate this piece to him.
I hope you enjoy the ride with me by hanging this painting on your wall.
