Something in the Night

Though my references for this piece were not taken in the night, I decided to paint this as a nocturne.  These horses were part of a larger herd running hard in Colorado.  I grayed out my colors and put these horses in a night scene.  As I painted it I wondered what had spooked them in the night.
