About this print
- Saddled chestnut horse drinking from a desert pool
- Golden sunset sky over distant mesas
- Soft, painterly style in amber and gold
- Quiet, restful Western scene
The Watering Hole is Western horse art in soft, painterly style. A saddled chestnut horse lowers its head to drink from a still pool, its reflection wavering in the water. Sage and desert grass surround it, and distant mesas stand in a gold sunset haze.
The light does the work here: amber, honey, and deep gold, fading into dust. It is a quiet moment of rest on the open range, the stillness between journeys, and the bond between horse and rider with the rider nowhere in sight.
It hangs well in a living room or over a bed, and brings warmth to an office or a ranch house hallway. Choose a matte print, or have it framed by hand in Phoenix in black, white, walnut, or natural wood, with or without a white mat.

Questions about The Watering Hole
What is pictured in The Watering Hole?
A saddled chestnut horse drinking from a desert pool at sunset, with sagebrush around it and mesas on the horizon.

Good to know
What is the difference between Print and Framed Print?
Print ships as the artwork alone on heavyweight matte stock. Framed Print arrives in your choice of black, white, walnut, or natural wood frames, ready to hang.
How long until my order ships?
Every Frontier Prints piece is made to order. Prints ship in 3 to 5 business days, framed pieces in 5 to 7.
Will the colors match my screen?
Screens differ, so expect slight shifts in color. Wood grain on walnut frames is unique to each piece.
Do framed prints have glass?
No. Framed pieces have an acrylic or styrene front, never glass. It is lighter than glass and much less likely to shatter, so it is safer to ship and to hang.
Are prints signed or numbered?
No. Prints are open edition and are not signed or numbered.
