45x52 Mixed media on frayed canvas for a tapestry look and mounted through coordinating brass grommets and brass nails. Using washes, drips and pooling of ink and ocean water builds the layers of this large canvas. Light texture, minute details and gold leafing can only be truly appreciated in person.
Inspiration for this series of horse paintings was derived from ancient artists of Persia, Greece, China and Mesopotamia with their elegant depictions of the majestic steed. They capture these magnificent creatures with such grace and strength. Gustav Klimt and ancient mosaics also played a part in the inspiration.
