Wild Like the Wind
On a recent trip to Connemara I was headed towards the seaside town Spiddal driving down a narrow country road. There were vast bogs on both sides and as I came over a hill there were two Connemara ponies standing high on a rock. They looked so majestic in the soft breeze, with the faint view of the Burren in the distance. It was such a sight, one that you could have easily missed if I wasn’t already admiring the beautiful landscape.
All I could get was a blurry photo, but I knew I had to paint it. To capture that scene.
This painting has so much wonderful texture. I tried to make the horses and rocks detailed enough, but left the rest very loose with bold brush strokes. This is the largest painting I’ve created and the scale of it would be a beautiful statement piece in any room.
