Art of the Day: Let’s Go Broncos I

Here’s a neat pic of two stallions from the Onaqui Mountains Wild Horse Herd Management Area. Note the scars on both of them. They really do fight a lot…and sometimes do some real damage. There’s one guy who is missing an ear completely. And not long ago I saw one with a chunk of flesh about the size of my fist missing from his shoulder. That said – and other than that – they look remarkably healthy and hearty.

I chose the title of this pic because it has been really popular in Colorado. I think it might have something to do with the colors??

I first printed it on 16 x 24 metal. And when I started messing around with the barnwood frames, I tossed one that size into a frame. Wow… It really seemed to finish the piece. So for this one, I’d suggest a 15 x 23 on 1/8″ acrylic in a handmade barnwood frame ($245). Email me at steve@emmisoure.com to order – or to discuss other sizes/options. Neat shot.

Art of the Day: Twin Yearlings Sparring

These two are a lot of fun to watch. I think they’re both males from the same dam. They’re always together, running, playing, and sparring – much like you’d expect others to act. The picture was shot toward the end of the day on the shortest day of the year in 2020. The light was just starting to get “golden” as the sun was going down. Was my first time out with this herd, too, and it was a really special experience. Great interaction with the horses, great light, and great memories.
