An upcoming photographer

After a bit of encouragement my neice has  launched a redbubble shop with some of her equine and non-equine  photography...

Jennifer has been photographing a lot of equine events for me lately, this winter I will be working from a number of her photos for my polo artwork series.  Which we will be taking to a few tournaments later in the year.

Check out her photos http://jensav.redbubble.com/..  I think she'll be  a force to be reckoned with over the coming years and thats not just because Im her aunty... She has a great eye  and a blossoming talent.

Fantazia


Fantazia

Fantazia was the original drawing and painting for my watercolour Enchanted.  I decided that it was too large to achieve the look I wanted in watercolour.  Having made that decision I didnt want to through the original away and had a mad idea that I could rework the original drawing/painting as a mixed media work.

So meet Fantazia 17" x 23" mixed medium  I wanted it to be a more fantasy style drawing hence the blues in the horse is drawn in.   Expressions of interest are being taken prior to this piece being taken to an exhibition.

Prophet


"Prophet"

I love it when an owner wants a different perspective on a portrait. Prophet loves nothing more than to stick his tongue out when having his photo taken.. so it seemed appropriate that his own Eric request this profil.
10" x 12" pastel.
