Desert Canyon Horse in Watercolor

A watercolor painting of a horse standing in a dramatic desert canyon. Warm orange, ochre and sienna canyon walls painted with loose, translucent washes, with cooler blues and purples in the distant horizon. The horse is in three-quarter view, lit by golden-hour sunlight, mane and tail catching the breeze. Background features soft bleeding edges where rock meets sky, capturing the fluidity of watercolor. The horse has more defined contours to stand out against the loose canyon textures. Foreground shows a sandy, wind-swept ground with subtle hoof prints and a few dry shrubs or cacti. Add specks of desert dust in the air to convey depth. The overall mood is serene, expansive, and timeless. Medium: watercolor on cold-pressed paper, with visible paper texture and slight color bleed for a dreamy effect.
