Night Horse

Paulette Harp-Nicholson

This painting depicts a southwestern night scene with a yellow diminishing sunset, a cresent moon and the start of the revealing of the night stars. Deeper into the painting reveals a night horse, with a star for an eye, the crescent moon for a jawbone and a light outline of galloping legs and a tail.
