After the Dust Settles

One of artist D. Michael Thomas’ favorite pieces, these two war horses — an Indian pony and a cavalry horse — decked out in their tack of the time in 1874 found a quiet spot during a heated battle before they were rounded up and dealt with. Their riders fought relentlessly for their beliefs, however, the horses show no animosity. Although the work stands on its own merits, the goal is to allow the viewer to form their own perception.
