At the point of painting "COLT", I wanted to paint something that was not challenging. Not challenging in subject or technical abilities. But that was not the case. What I thought would be an easy painting challenged me technically and took longer than I had thought. Photographed in a local park in Boston and then made nude on canvas, I composited multiple parts of multiple images to creat this one painting. I was inspired by the awkward proportions and vulnerability of a new born horse.
