The Fourth To Come
I painted this in oils, usually I use acrylics. This is from an small print that was so old it was falling apart. My Dad really liked it so I painted it to canvas and is about 3×3feet. I don;t know the story behind this image but i envisioned the 4 horsemen and the Apocolypse with the fourth horsemen yet to come.
The Fourth To Come belongs to the following groups:
Equine Art and Photography and Spiritual Art Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Ria Rosa Quinto
This is an excellent painting! The veins in the horses’ faces, the fury of the storm… everything here gives off a strange unsettling ambiance.
And yep, the Apocalypse is what came to mind, even before I read your description.
Well done! =)

I love the movement and drama in your painting! You can only see the horses heads but you still convey a lot of energy without showing the limbs.
Brandon Stewart
Nice energy and colors…this has the feel of an old Japanese painting to me, well done.

Arnie – The intensity painted into the horses faces and the looming sky projects such imagery. Riding the wind, will not rest until destination is met. Well done my friend.

Hi Arnold, this is quite a wonderful work of art! I’m sure your Dad was thrilled when he was gifted with this.
Arnold Isbister
He was Kate, must have looked at it for an hour. He passed away about 4 years ago. Some of my short stories were dedicated to him; read when you have time…..:)

the original is probably the classic called ‘The Pharoh’s Horses’ or ‘The Horses of The Pharoh’
Excellent rendition, original background was reds and golds.
