onveying a horse’s mindset is the particular forte of Laurie Kersey’s, whose impressionist equine paintings often juxtapose finessed portrayals of horses in the foreground with minimalist landscapes bordering on tonalism in the background. “For me, it’s about the horse. Most of the time it’s a horse in a suggestion of an environment,” says Kersey. Her painterly horses are likely to be created with bigger brushes, each stroke intentionally thought out with the horse’s musculature evident.
