Description

The Secret Unicorn is a
colourful romantic semi-abstract painting of a dappled white horse in an
unashamedly magical landscape. It is 30x30x1.5 inches. The painting shows a
white dappled horse swishing her tail and looking as if she just materialized
out of nowhere. The setting hints at a river bank with pink flowers along the
edge and the idea of trees and a meadow behind the horse. The inspiration for
the painting was a walk I took last June across quiet farmland where I caught
glimpses through thick hedgerow to the next field. A white mare was unaware I
was watching her through a gap in hedge and was clearly having a wonderful time
tossing her head and flexing her muscles in the sunny meadow she was in. It
made me wonder if she would go the full Disney and turn into a unicorn. Unfortunately,
she didn’t but the experience made me want to paint it anyway. I have included
a photo I took of her to give some context. It is painted on deep edge canvas,
white edges, no frame needed and is ready to hang. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9amNdtTJt8Y
