Turquoise and Leather 

Julie Bell, a contemporary artist born in 1958, is known for her realistic depictions of animals, particularly horses. In "Turquoise and Leather", Bell captures the essence of these majestic creatures with striking detail. The painting's focal point is the close-up of two horses, showcasing their powerful musculature and the intricate details of their bridles. The contrasting colors of the horses' brown coats against the turquoise leather and metal of their harnesses create a visually striking and evocative image. This painting is a testament to Bell's talent for capturing the beauty and power of animals in a realistic and compelling manner.
