Artist’s Statement Regarding Horse of a Different Color

While thinking of the proposals for “Horse of a Different Color”, I had two ideas in mind. The first had to do with the term, as in not quite a horse yet horse like. The second was of course the literal interpretation: a horse painted in colors horses aren’t born with, as in the Wizard of Oz. With that in mind I came up with several sketches:

1. A horse with wings that have an almost flower like feel to them in the way that the feathers fan out. On the neck are several larger more detailed feathers. This one was sketched with a black horse in mind, using a pastel color scheme.

2. An abstract harlequin pattern used  over the entire body and diffused around the neck and leg area. The lines follow the natural body lines of the horse to accentuate the horses form.  Colors are used to create a periscope like effect.

3. Several different patterns integrated into shapes along the form of the horse including Polka dots, rainbow, stripes and harlequin.

Artist’s Statement Regarding Horse of a Different Color

I am excited for the opportunity to be painting on a new kind of canvas – a living, breathing, majestic HORSE! I have an incredible awe and respect for horses, especially because they are so powerful and intelligent. It would be an honor to be able to explore subject matter in this way. I have always found horses to be sort of funny in their many different personalities so I have chosen to explore unusual characters to overlay on a horse’s already set personality in an attempt to bring our a different side of them. Mermaid or seahorse, party horse, and punk horse are all characters you may not typically think of when you see a horse and it is my attempt at adding a little humor while you see this horse in a new way. You may even treat the horse differently after the painting is complete which could influence the horse’s behavior.

Artist’s Biography

Laura Christie’s art comes from her passion: to live in Rapport with horses. Ignited in childhood, that passion led her to a successful thirty year career as a professional horse trainer. From that career comes a lifelong study of equine form, movement and anatomy…and the intimate knowledge grown from having trained hundreds of equine souls in partnership. And therein lies Laura’s purpose in her art: Sharing the Love of Horses!! Laura also has certification in Equine Structural Integration, was an Art/Biology double major, and holds a BS in Biology. She is currently a full-time artist, exhibiting in art shows around the country, and has clients in the US, the UK, and Canada. Laura has resided in Montana for 38 years, and lives with her husband on their farm in South-Central Montana.

Artist’s Statement Regarding Horse of a Different Color

When Dunrovin Ranch contacted me about their Horse of A Different Color Event, I knew immediately what my concept would revolve around….Charlie Russell and Montana Native Americans!   Growing up drawing & painting & riding as a kid, I idolized Russell and the history reflected in his work. Moving to Montana in 1979, I got to experience the legacy of Montana Native American tribes and that of Russell, more intensely.   I believe art should ignite feelings, and tell a story. I hope to do that with my living Horse canvas concept! I’m honored to participate in Dunrovin’s fabulous Horse of A Different Color Event, bringing Art & Horse Lovers together, emphasizing the importance of horses in therapy and rehabilitation, and contributing to the worthy charities involved.
