This striking limited edition painting, titled Ponokamita—a Blackfoot term evoking the spirit of the "elk dog" or horse—captures the raw power and mystical elegance of a galloping dark bay steed adorned in ornate Native-inspired regalia, charging through a stormy, ethereal landscape. Measuring 31" wide by 40" high on a gallery-wrapped canvas with a 2" depth, the artwork is frameless and ready to display, its vertical composition emphasizing the dynamic energy and forward momentum of the subject.
Primarily executed in acrylic paint, the scene features the horse with a flowing black mane accented by turquoise feathers and intricate jewelry, its muscular form rendered in rich earth tones against a backdrop of swirling mists and warm, diffused light that suggests an impending dawn or dusk. The artist's layered palette of deep browns, subtle blues, and golden highlights conveys a sense of untamed freedom, cultural reverence, and the bond between nature and heritage.
Enhancing its depth and allure are luxurious mixed-media embellishments: oil paint provides tactile texture to the fur and motion, while Austrian crystals, gold pearls, and white pearls sparkle across the adornments, adding a regal shimmer. Glass beads simulate scattered rock debris at the hooves, and gold flakes glint throughout, creating a three-dimensional, immersive effect that draws the viewer into the scene. Signed with a subtle "NYX '24" in the lower right, this limited edition piece blends figurative artistry with opulent details, making it a powerful statement for collectors inspired by indigenous themes and equine majesty.
