Under the Parasol

A Lakota woman sits quietly on horseback beneath a dark parasol, her blue garment and white leggings catching warm light against a glowing sky. I wanted the mood to feel calm and self-possessed—more about grace and presence than drama—so the pose stays simple and the design reads clearly from a distance.

Painted in oil (16x12), the piece is built on traditional fundamentals: a strong silhouette, clean value relationships, and selective edges that keep the focus on the figure. The parasol becomes an elegant counter-shape to the sunlit atmosphere, while the warm chestnut of the horse grounds the painting with weight and dignity.
