The Ponies of Assateague Island Print
Signed limited edition giclee on canvas by
Santa Ana California
artist Jeane Coutts
The original oil painting of the
Wild Ponies Assateague Island by Jeane Coutts is a magnificently
large and vibrant work of art by Jeane Coutts. Jeane completed the work as the center piece of her
"New Inspirations" exhibition. The artwork shows a herd of wild
Assateague Island ponies and ponies in the sea off Assateague Island,
which straddles the states of Maryland and Virginia. The piece is full
of movement, life, and a rainbow of color. The scene appears to be at
sunrise or sunset as the canvas is vibrant with a full spectrum of
color. The horses' eyes are wide, their nostrils flared, and their
manes whipped back giving the impression that the ponies are taking
flight rather than frolicking in the surf. Perhaps the ponies live on
the Virginia side of the island and are being rounded up for the
annual swim to Chincoteague Island (during low tide) to be auctioned
off by the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company to raise money for fire
and rescue equipment? |
