Peace And Justice
Artist

Medium
Painting - Watercolor Over Acrylic
Description
It seemed fitting to paint the horses with the colors of the American flag considering the title and considering that I am very much a patriot to my country. The horse in the back is Justice because he has his eyes covered. The Greek statue for justice wears a blindfold so she cannot see the bribes being offered to her. This is my version of blind justice.
The horse in the foreground represents peace. Peace and justice are side by side and beget freedom and nothing represents the power of freedom like unbridled horses running.
The red background has a subtle texture to it created by using Saran Wrap. Click on the picture to view through the green high Res box.
The red is a Daniel Smith acrylic color called Venetian Red. When I saw the paint can, I immediately grabbed it. No worries about having a whole quart of this fabulous color. I will use it frequently.
For canvas prints, I recommend continuous sides or black sides.

Thank you to the collector from Iowa. May it bless your home with peace and joy.
DOYLESTOWN, PA - United States
I am the Doylestown collector and love this piece so much I just ordered it in a larger size to fit a new space. I am a life-long equestrian, and have spent the past 14 years as a Judge Advocate—mostly in criminal justice work... so “Justice and Peace” really speak to me. I would love to know more about your inspiration as I plan to gift my smaller work to a life long friend who admired it and (also an equestrian) is a social worker within the justice system. Such a powerful piece. Congratulations!

Thank you for your purchase, Jacklyn. What a perfect fit for you and the person you are gifting it to. This is part of a series of horses I am doing. The first of the series is called Painted By The Wind. All the horses are unbridled to represent freedom. This piece is specificly representing freedom with its color scheme of red, white, and blue. The red being more dominate to impress upon the viewer passionate patriotism to the land of the free. One horse has his eyes covered. He represents blind justice. The other is peace. Together they run unbridled because only when they are together do they bring freedom. I will try to message this to you too. Do message me through the email me option if you do not see a message from me. You can also add your email to my email list. So happy you found this perfect for you piece.

This painting is an instant attraction for me Jani! The deep reds are among my faces, although bold, rich colors all grab me when done so well :) The subject of horses riding freely & simplicity in your execution make it a stunner. Congrats on the sale and continued success! V/F P.S. Led to view here from your post in 'Painters Only' discussion.

Thank you for such a detailed comment, Adriana. This red is called Venitian Red and I love it too. This original sold to Pegasus Restaurant in West Seattle. As far as I know it is hanging there. :-)
