Busy, busy and Christmas is coming!!

Yes, I know it's only August, but the nights have already started to draw in and forward planning is a good thing, so here is a preview of what I have in store for the autumn.
The"All that glitters" range will be available on my website from September. Priced at £35 for a framed original, just in time for Christmas. I am really excited about these and a new series "Silhouette". Here is a preview of some of my favourites from both:

Watching paint dry!

Well, Blue-Silver is finished and framed. Next project is a little different and hopefully taking me closer to the vision in my head of what I am trying to portray in my work. The aim has always been to capture movement and grace.

Silence is golden and silver and sparkly

It's been almost 2 years since I blogged. Sorry about that. Life is busy and social media is time consuming so I have had to prioritise my efforts. I have been busy making my work available online and building a new website. Meanwhile, here is where you can buy works and horse up your life. www.redbubble.com/people/hrequineart I am trying to decide whether the word needs another art blog or if it might be more fun and interesting to make this a little wider. Perhaps an insight into the life and times of the artist behind the easel. Or perhaps a little more about how the inspiration for the pieces came to be. For example, "At dusk" here This painting and many of those in my up close and personal collection are inspired by my evenings in the barn with my horses. The sun is setting and the light fading. All is quiet and still, just the sounds of horses contentedly munching their hay and dozing. This is very much a horse owner's view. We rarely see our anima...
