I took this photo a while ago and knew I had to paint it, the horse looks like such a fun character!
Part of my small format, affordable watercolour series, the original measures 5.5″×7.5″ and is painted on Artistico paper.

I have a passion for watercolours and love to play with colour, exploring the effect of combining pigment and water on the paper. Challenging the traditional view that watercolours are pale and washy, I love vibrant colour used in exciting combinations. I am especially drawn to flowers, their three dimensional forms presenting endless challenges.
I won the SAA Amateur Artist of the Year 2012 for my painting “Cosmic Poppies”.

The first thing I could think of when I saw this painting was a line from an old TV commercial……depending on your age, you may remember it….“You’ll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent” Really cute painting, Ruth.
Hahaha! Yes, I think I do remember Marsha! Thanks :)

Ha, I like this one Ruth, looks like he might be a bit spooked.
He does look that way, doesn’t he Jim? He was fine in the photos before and after this one though, maybe he was smiling for my camera! lol
