Collection Description

This striking image portrays Tom Armour, impeccably dressed in an emerald green jacket and vibrant pink trousers, astride a majestic black horse. Drawing inspiration from the evocative styles of Gottfried Helnwein, Alex Ross, and David Hockney, this high-resolution, hyper-realistic oil painting captures both the dynamic form of the rider and the expressive posture of the horse. Armour’s oversized green jacket flows dramatically, matched aesthetically by his black cowboy hat that adds a rustic touch to the ensemble. The backdrop, a serene blend of light blue skies and lush green grass, is rendered in emotive pastel tones with flat lighting, reinforcing the pastoral and tranquil setting. For those new to digital painting and looking to achieve similar effects in their artwork, exploring MidJourney style reference tips for beginners can provide valuable insights into combining multidisciplinary art styles and creating compelling compositions in hyper-realistic pastel palettes.
