“The Old Guard” Original Art

I intended this horse painting to have 2 purposes. The models I used are real mustangs with a single owner and while I wanted to honor her mustangs, I also wanted to tell a new story. While there’s the real story of these three, my made up story is that these boys are all part of the same wild band, and they’re meeting and discussing, perhaps the topic of succession since most wild stallions would rather fight than discuss anything, or be a part of the same band for long. Usually the stallions are cast out once they reach a certain age to start a family of their own.
