Mark English was an illustration artist who art caught my eye, and i thought it was very interesting. His art is very good at describing what moment it is in without using any words to help explain because it has great detail. At the start of English's life he was a cotton picker on a farm getting paid 1.50$ a day, he was able to escape this life through teaching himself how to paint, and later he got drafted into the army, after his time there he became well known for his illustration paintings.
I really like this particular piece. The unnatural colors (the pink mountain) make this work almost surreal, almost like an enhanced sunset. It looks like pointilism.
ReplyDeleteThis is really amazing, I like how the horse and rider just blend into to settings. It's like the cowboy belongs to the land
