Courage of the Spirit Horse

The Spirit Horse gallops across the plains in defiance of his vaquero captors and the rules of mortality.

* The legend of the Spirit Horse, passed on orally from generation to generation, depicts a wild steed that was wrangled by a group of professional mustangers. The horse refused to accept food or water from them and eventually died, but Indians from Mexico to Southern Canada claimed to have seen the ghost stallion running across the plains in the moonlight until the mid 1900s. *

Painting Process
The 30 x 15 canvas was painted with various teal and brown acrylics, the underpainting was created with gouache, and then the fine details were painted with custom-mixed teal enamel.

The wood frame was constructed, aged, and stained by Lozeau to create a rustic, Southwest look with custom-made, rusty metal details in the corners, bringing the total measure to 43 x 21.

Paper Prints
The 18 x 12 Courage of the Spirit Horse prints are produced with archival ink on glossy paper and are perfect for those of you who prefer to frame your art.

Canvas Prints
The ready-to-hang Courage of the Spirit Horse canvas prints are produced with archival ink on museum-grade, gallery-wrapped canvas and extend 1.25 inches off the wall, so there's no need for a frame. There are several sizes available and each limited-edition giclee is signed and numbered out of only 40 Artist Proofs. Please allow up to three weeks for delivery of canvas prints, as they are custom-built at the time the order is placed.
