White Horse Echoes, 2021

White Horse Echoes is a large framed equestrian oil painting in shades of pastel and white, showing two white Spanish horses behind a white, transparent veil. The style is impressionist and contemporary. The horses are galloping in a meadow filled with wildflowers, with trees, fields and hills receding into the background. It is a very Sussex landscape. The painting was originally painted a few years ago in response to the horses and scenery I see around me quite often where I live. However, I recently decided to try glazing transparent white over the painting to make it more dreamlike, because horses are naturally dreamlike for me, as I am allergic to them, so can’t have much to do with them, even though I find them really beautiful! It has made the horses both realistic and ethereal at the same time and I like the result. The painting has a basic white frame on it, which makes the dimensions 54 x 44 x 1.5 inches in total. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNLWN2z7b98
