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.
