YUN WEI A ROUGH DAY AHEAD

20” x 24” — Oil $7,500

Picture this making everything look epic. I saw this horse saddle, all worn and telling stories of countless rides. The way the light hit the old leather, the textures of the saddle made me feel like I had to paint it. I wanted to capture the rough and cool vibe of the Wild West, like a nod to the folks who owned those saddles back in the day.
