"Open The Gate" - Dust & Daydreams Collection - Original Acrylic Painting

30.5 x 30.5cm (3.5cm deep) size original acrylic and mixed media artwork by Michelle Clarke

The Dust & Daydreams Collection is a selection of small acrylic studies rooted in nostalgic western ranch life - the quiet moments between rides, the soft light on a horse’s back, and the dust that settles when the day finally slows.

Each piece explores horses not as spectacle, but as presence: resting at the rail, waiting at the gate, standing warm from the sun. A handful of rodeo-inspired works introduce flashes of grit and motion - the split second where balance, instinct, and trust collide.

Painted in earthy pastel tones and softened edges, the collection leans into restraint and atmosphere rather than detail or drama. They are quiet paintings, meant to feel half-remembered, like something you’ve lived, even if you haven’t.

Dust & Daydreams is a love letter to horses, to the land that raises them, and to the in-between moments that linger long after the dust has settled.
