Ghost Horse 2000

"Ghost Horse" is a 2000 realist painting by American artist Nelson Shanks (1937-2015). The painting depicts a lone white horse standing on a hill overlooking a vast body of water, with a distant rocky outcrop silhouetted against a dramatic, colorful sky. The painting evokes a sense of solitude and mystery, inviting viewers to contemplate the horse's presence and the vastness of the surrounding landscape. Shanks, known for his detailed realism and evocative use of light, masterfully captures the textures of the land and the horse's sleek form.
