A painting of a girl walking along the beach with her shadow that is shaped like a horse

The Shadow Walker of Nags Head

by Rick Short / Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas

Price: $1,750.00 US Dollars

About this Painting - There is always something special about going to the beach and summer when you are a child. This painting not only captures the imagination of a child playing at the beach thinking about her friend and counterpart but captures the innocence of childhood. This is a Southwest style art painting with lots of texture, color, shadow and lighting. The subject is a little girl walking along the beach and dunes of Nags Head, North Carolina. As she explores the beach, she sees her shadow and imagines the body of a horse peering out from her own long shadows. Whether it be the spirit of Nags Head calling out to her, a love of horses or a dearly beloved pet at home, her Spirit shadow keeps her company as she plays at the beach.

This painting is very special to me because it is one of the few paintings I have painted that capture my love for western art, seascapes, and children's art all in one painting. I hope it moves you and reminds you of a simpler time in your life or your children's life where you caught them enjoying the simple life of a day at the beach with their favorite childhood friend.
