Gunpowder

Original Painting

One of a kind. Not a print. Signed original on canvas with a certificate of authenticity.

The people of the steppe were half wild and fearless, and they trusted their horses the way you trust the weather. The Scythians rode long before there were roads, and they buried their horses beside them. The Sarmatians who followed rode into battle in armor, and the horse wore armor too.

This horse carries none of that history on its back. It carries the spirit. No reins, no saddle, a dark mane thrown back like smoke and a flash of white along the shoulder like a struck spark. It is not running toward anything. It runs because standing still was never in its nature.

Inspired by the horse cultures of the Scythians and Sarmatians: half wild, fearless, and gone before the dust settles.
