Description:
“Smothered Mate” depicts horses enveloped in a vibrant yellow atmosphere, brought to life through bold, loose brushstrokes that convey movement and tension. The title draws a thoughtful parallel to the chess term "smothered mate" — a situation of strategic entrapment, where freedom is curtailed despite proximity. This reflects the delicate balance between grace and constraint, freedom and control, that exists in both the equine world and the game of chess.
“The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and freedom.”
— Sharon Ralls Lemon
