The New Beginning: Original Mixed Media Painting

A vibrant reawakening of a historic symbol, The New Beginning reframes the iconic image of a weary Native warrior and horse—most famously known from End of the Trail—through a bold, electric lens. This 36x36" mixed media painting by Kelly O’Brien transforms grief into grit, exhaustion into resilience, and finality into forward motion.

Description:

The New Beginning breathes new life into one of America’s most recognizable images—a Native figure slumped in exhaustion on horseback, silhouetted against the horizon. But in Kelly O'Brien’s reimagining, the landscape pulses with neon, symbols, and playful abstraction. Stars, cacti, arrows, and dreamlike shapes scatter across the canvas like fragments of memory and myth.

Rather than an end, this piece is a turning point. The colors blaze, the lines dance, and the spirit rises. It’s a work about reclamation, resilience, and rewriting the narrative—not in mourning, but in momentum.
