Artwork Description

In this pastel painting I have used a limited colour range with a stark contrasting edge in the middle. I wanted to put in only enough information to show the horse's movement and clear eye expression. This is a large work (see photo of how lovely it would look when framed either in white or brown. If the painting had a 10cm mount board all around it would measure 90 by 70 plus the frame, suitable as a feature painting in any room.

All art by Christine Lawrence

Background reds and browns were first.  In all my work I use charcoal to draw in my subject. then I rub most of the linework out just so I can see the edges. Then comes the paint. It is an organic process. Finally with an almost dry brush I place the light shafts over the whole work. In a mystical encounter, the horse and the bird engaged with each other in a spiritual dance, their energies intertwining, creating an ethereal harmony that transcended the boundaries of the physical world.My process is always organic, once I am satisfied with the drawing's accuracy. You will see in most of my work garden, floral and symbolic themes. I paint them into my subject's body. The symbolism is always about beauty and freedom.
