Thunder on the Plains

Here is the next in my Art of the American West series, in this case, some horse themed art. A group of wild mustangs charges across the dusty plains, retreating from a springtime thunderstorm, threatening flooding rains and dangerous lightning, as it approaches from behind a great snow-capped mountain. I’ve given the horses slightly larger hooves and added a lot of flying stones in order to emphasize the thunder theme of this image. Set in the early spring, I’ve made the grass short, sparse and green.
