Artist: Nicole Smith

Title: "Chestnut Mauve Soul Study"

Medium: oil on canvas

Size: 6x6 boxed canvas

This piece is an oil sketch. This means I do not draw the piece out on the canvas before painting! This does not leave me much room for error which makes it challenging! My oil sketches are is also bit more impressionistic and have more expressive brushwork than my traditional pieces.


Boxed canvas does not need a frame. The sides will be painted or finished, so you can hang it immediately. I'm posting a few of these pieces priced to collect. They will look great hanging together, added into your horsey art collection, or simply hanging in a small space (office cubical perhaps?) so you can bring a bit of horsey fun to your non-horsey spaces.

All of my oil paintings are done with quality oil paints and on stretched canvas. Traditional oil paintings have a longevity surpassing many generations. This is one of the reasons I chose oil paints to ensure your painting is enjoyed for years to come. Instructions on cleaning your painting will come with the personally signed Certificate of Authenticity for your painting.

Your painting will come already stretched on stretcher bars. The last photo shows an example of the type of canvas I use. As you can see the canvas is stretched around wooden stretcher bars and stapled on the back. Shipping and handling is given the utmost care and attention so your painting will arrive in the best possible condition. If for any reason this is not the case, please contact me and I will do my best to remedy the situation.

Shipping and handling charges may vary if shipped outside the US or Canada. Please contact me for details or with any questions.
