'Rider at Sunset' Equestrian and Horse Oil on Canvas Painting by Chris Brizzard
The rapid pace of the ride over a country landscape and the relationship between the rider and horse are felt in this oil on canvas painting by Chris Brizzard. The rider lunges forward on the horse and becomes one with the animal as they move through the landscape. Their movement is almost tangible with the drips of color on the surface of the canvas as though they have just jumped through a puddle on the course. The emotional bond of animal and human is evoked as the viewer is drawn in by the beautiful sunset landscape with a hint of evening light from the geometric golden lines that segment the painting.
Chris Brizzard is a native Texan and graduate of the Studio Incamminati founded by realist portrait painter Nelson Shanks. He currently teaches and works as a full-time artist in Oklahoma City.
