Guardian of the Ridge - Original Artwork

Guardian of the Ridge

Original Pastel Artwork – Mounted, Unframed

A Majestic Watcher Above the Valley

Guardian of the Ridge portrays an Appaloosa horse standing calmly on a rocky outcrop, overlooking rolling hills and distant forests. Inspired by a powerful reference from Jack Creek Appaloosas, this piece celebrates quiet strength — the steadiness of a true guardian against a sweeping horizon.

Drawn meticulously in soft pastels on premium Pastelmat, the work blends vivid realism with soft, atmospheric depth. From the warm leather of the saddle to the dappled markings across the coat, every detail is layered with care to honour the horse’s presence and poise.
