The Wildlife Art of Bonnie Marris

They say opposites attract and this pair of horses, one from each end of the color spectrum, inspired artist Bonnie Marris to create her latest fine art limited edition, Night and Day. “I absolutely love this painting,” says Marris. “The duality of nature combined with the strength and speed infuses this symbolic and poetic piece with an energy all its own. The spontaneity and excitement that comes from a horse is spectacular to watch. But it’s always a challenge to give a painting a sense of movement. These geldings have such a rhythm that against the blurred lighting of the background they appear to sail through the canvas. A blend of delicacy and masculinity, there’s both harmony and play between the two, their enthusiasm and energy the brilliance bounce off one another. While the light plays off the black and white, you still can see every color of the rainbow.”
