I live in a very old township, my house is a 130 year old settlers cottage which used to be the original farmhouse in Lyonville. I contacted the Trentham Historical Society to find out what I could and discovered so many beautiful black and white photos.

This painting is based on a photo of the Policeman's Horse. No one at the historical society could remember it's name but it was so friendly and would walk along the fenceline to greet you.

I painted this piece in muted colours with thick, buttery impasto paint.

It makes me happy that I could breathe life back into this old photo

This painting was included in my solo exhibition EPOCH which focussed on painting historical photos and recapturing lost moments in time.
