This original work "Picky" was created by contemporary Russian artist Alexander Samokhvalov and is available for purchase online.
Alexander Samokhvalov's painting "Picky" is likely part of a series dedicated to the power and beauty of horses. It is a dynamic canvas depicting two gray (bay) horses galloping across dry, dusty ground.
The central figure is the leading horse, whose image is full of grace and untamed strength. Its coat is painted with a complex blend of white, bluish, and lilac shades, typical for conveying a gray color under bright lighting. The artist excellently captured the anatomy of the animal in motion: tense muscles, flowing mane and tail, and tucked legs ready for the next powerful thrust.
The second horse, partially visible on the right, mirrors the movements of the first, enhancing the sense of speed and energy in the scene.
The action takes place in an open dry area, as evidenced by the clouds of dust and sand rising from under the hooves of the leading horse. The ground is depicted in warm, earthy tones — browns and ochres.
The sky in the background is rendered in soft, pastel tones, possibly hinting at early morning or evening, which emphasizes the contrast with the sharp dynamics of the earth and horses. Gentle blue and pink clouds soften the overall impression of the scene, allowing focus on the power of the animals.
The painting "Picky" demonstrates Samokhvalov's high skill in depicting the animalistic genre. Despite the title, the horse appears not so much picky as unstoppable in its pursuit of freedom and speed.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
