A New Galloway Landscape by Keith McIntyre (b. 1959) presents a lively scene of two bulls fighting, with one knocking the other's stomach, causing that one to flip with its legs up and its head, through a double-blur of movement effect, to hit the ground. McIntyre's effect of portraying the bull's horns still pointed up and then its ears and snout against the ground, paired with the curving, wild strokes of black and white next to this, allows movement to be conveyed. These curving white brush strokes are also seen near this bull's legs as well. The stark use of white and black tones, presents a cartoon-like capturing of this scene, with thick, dryer lines of paint adding to this feeling. 

McIntyre's passion for dramatic performances is very clear here, with the portrayal of movement around the bull getting knocked over by the other. The liveliness of his work is further elevated by the cartoon-nature in which he paints the scene, with active brush strokes and thick, solid lines to define subjects.
