Trinket
Pastel & pastel pencils on Grey Canson paper
40cm x 60cm October 2009
Commission – SOLD
The latest commission I have been working on for a client.
Trinket was a famous showjumping pinto mare, only 14.2 hh with an incredible talent for clearing the jumps & over 6 foot. I believe she was never
beaten in her career, defeating horses who had also competed at the Olympics back then. This painting was created from an old B & W photo, taken in the late 1950s of Trinket’s 2nd time out at the Wingham showground, which she won.
Featured in THOSE COLOURFUL PAINTS & PINTOS GROUP – November 2009

I’m honoured, thank you Fran – it was quite a challenging & slow going job but the owner is very happy with the result. It was a surprise present from his family, which made it even more special.
The original photo had been shelved away for years & now is hanging alongside the painting.
