Artwork Description

Hector 3

16.0 x 12.0 inches

Hector is a raven friend who lives in Moss Beach, CA at the same ranch where I keep my horse, Patron. He sought out a relationship with me and my horse, and I've done numerous paintings and studies of him as a result. This pose is a fleeting moment of stillness before motion - a breath before a decision. The surrounding space remains ambiguous, evoking a quiet tension and inviting viewers to reflect on the raven's symbolism—perhaps as a silent observer or a harbinger of change. The composition suggests a moment suspended between pause and movement.
