Original artwork description:
Introducing Major “Mercury” who is a renowned drum horse for the British Household Cavalry. Along with his colleague James Ballantine.
Mercury was named by The Queen & has met him on several occasions including Trooping the colour. He was originally named Dyfed Celt by his world class breeders in Wales.
The painting was inspired by a stunning photo by equine photographer Candela Gonzalez who I greatly thank for the use of her work.
The photograph was taken in an arena in Morocco & I love how the coloured lighting & spot light cast their shadows onto the subject
The painting is my biggest to date & a large amount of time was given to every detail of the horse, regalia etc. I really wanted to show my abilities & challenge myself as an animal artist using my usual medium of acrylics on canvas. The artwork was used as the centre piece for my 1st Solo exhibition in March 2020.
