Legendary Horse-drawn Carriage in NYC showcases a juxtaposition between the cool colored New York cityscape and the comfort of a unique experience. Tangerine-colored fall leaves on the foreground provide warm speckles that stand out like stars amongst the gray of the sidewalk. Above the ground, walnut-colored dirt road shifts to piercing reds that line a horse-drawn carriage while the golden-blonde hair of a passenger is distinct amongst the carriage’s dark exterior. A child, another passenger in deep blue, and natural white flowers provide specific elements that stand out against the meticulously curving and smoothly drawn horse. In the distance, upright and tall in magnificence, skyscrapers mix blue shades with metallic textures. They overlook the piece – seeing the traffic and people below – beckoning individuals forward with contemporary promise.
There’s a peaceful element to Legendary Horse-drawn Carriage in NYC announced through the calm colors that glide across the piece. Aspects like the small containment of red on the horse and carriage are enough to sprinkle sensory excitement without being overpowering. While the environment is detailed and brushed with coolness, it is a paradoxical warming-cold, the lovely, uplifting feeling set aflame by the events of the winter holidays.
