New Print Launch - Boris the Cob!
My painting of Boris, the Cob is now available as a fine art Print and greeting card! Find out who Boris is and watch his portrait story.
I am happy to report Boris, the cob is now available as a fine art print (in a range of sizes & finishes) & a greeting card!
I was introduced to Boris, the cob, in 2021. He is a sensitive soul with a peculiar fear of plastic bags which, on one occasion, caused him to jump sideways onto a passing car!
Full charge in a hunt, he is nothing if not enthusiastic. He is affectionately known as the 'slightly malcoordinated tank' being big and a little on the clumsy side.
I painted him in his winter coat & was completely mesmerised by all the shifting textures and colours I found there.

In Celebration of a horse called Lewis
Today I am talking about this portrait of a beautiful horse called Lewis. Read on to hear the full story and watch a time-lapse of this painting in progress.
Lewis, Digital Painting
Kind, gentle, dependable and loved, Lewis was a warmblood gelding who very sadly is no longer in the land of the living. It was therefore a particular honour to paint this portrait for his owner.
The painting evolved gradually with the layers of colour building to describe that extraordinary musculature of his face. I never met Lewis but, quietly studying him for this painting, I really felt that ‘gentle’ quality, his owner described, in every nuance of his expression.
See the a time-lapse below, showing how this painting evolved.

Boris the Unicorn
Today I offer up my painting of Boris the cob to celebrate, in a rather quirky way, National Unicorn Day. Read all about this very unconventional unicorn and watch a video of how this painting progressed.
Today is National Unicorn day, and my furry friend digital painting has taken a little twist on the theme. I present you with Boris the cob, not your conventional interpretation of a unicorn, but a happy, somewhat shaggy, salt-of-the-earth alternative.
He is gentle and sensitive in nature, with a peculiar fear of plastic bags, which on one occasion caused him to spontaneously jump sideways onto a car.
Full charge in a hunt, he is nothing if not enthusiastic although he has been described as a ‘slightly malcoordinated tank’ by his owners, with his tendency of not paying much mind to obstacles and being a little on the clumsy side.
Boris is the first horse I have had the pleasure to paint and I was completely mesmerised by all the shifting textures of his winter coat!
