Home for me is a combination of both good and bad. For a time home inside of me was very dark and a scary place to be, but on the outside also what I had that I called home, was a very beautiful and happy place, riding my horses under the warm sun, watching the waves of the sea crashing and hearing the trees blowing in the wind.

I created this painting because it gives me the feel of when the horse is in a faster gait and as their hooves hit the ground. It feels like the ground beneath us is rising up. The beat coming from the ground up through the horse is very rhythmical and powerful.

Here ‘s some mono prints and pastel drawings I created in the sense of the waves and current of the sea.

I have tried to bring the effects of the sunset forward. I have incorporated all of the colours I’d generally see when out riding on an evening. With the yellow of the sun, orange and red from the sky and with the black outlining any subjects or landscapes within my view.

I created a variety of different mono prints and with them formed a collage with the inspiration from the picture of when riding through the forests.

Here is just a rough sketch of an idea I had. I've tried incorporating all the things I see when riding, such as the waves from the sea, the tree and leaves in the woods, also the setting of the sun. I didn’t want to spend too much time on this piece if it isn't the way forward and if I wasn’t heading in the right direction with it. If it is however I think by taking more time and care with a similar piece, I could turn the idea into a very unusual painting.

Here I tried to combine all of the thing together into one. My work I have produced all has a connection to horses. So I incorporated the colours of the sunset, the black from the shadows and outlines, and the blue wave like movement all within the horse itself.
