Observed here at full chat, the wind racing through their mane, their tale acting as a rudder as it guides its heaving body on an ever forward-leaning trajectory, this galloping mare is almost leaping off the canvas, thanks in no small part of the near-three dimensional qualities which illustratively befit Gary Benfield’s visually adaptations of his preferred equine subjects. And returning to do what the acclaimed contemporary animal artist does best this Spring 2017, the much sought after Benfield certainly isn’t shirking his pictorial obligations at this time of asking, as he repeats the graphic feats he’s been achieving from the outset of his industry and peer-decorated painterly career. ‘Lightening’ is presented in the form of a 31” x 21” hand-signed giclee on canvas limited edition study, and can be obtained here and now via the usual methods of communication.
