“Dark Trotting Horse” is an evocative original acrylic on canvas by equine artist Gretchen Dibler. In this dynamic work, Dibler freezes the elegant motion of a trotting horse—its powerful legs lifting and falling in a steady cadence—against a backdrop of shadowed tones. Rich layers of umber, sepia, and rosewood meld together, lending depth and warmth, while subtle touches of pale ochre catch the light and guide the viewer’s eye across the animal’s defined musculature.

Dibler’s confident brushwork and nuanced color transitions give the painting both realism and an almost dreamlike quality. The horse’s form seems to emerge from and dissolve into its surroundings, evoking a sense of movement through mist or dusk. This piece is perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of equine motion and the interplay of light and shadow in contemporary fine art.

Signed by the artist, “Dark Trotting Horse” comes ready to display and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity—an exceptional addition to any collection of horse-inspired or nature-driven artwork.
