I was touched by the meek spirit of horses and more so the story behind this pair of mother horse and her foal. Mother Rosie was adopted by a kind owner and was set free in secured ground. At the same time she was pregnant and gave birth to Ollie the foal at her new home. Ollie has free spirit and funkiness persona (showed in my other painting "Ollie"). I kindled with the similar spirit and that's the reason why I create art.
This will be a print copy from this original painting which feature texture and sculpted shape of horses.
I chose to sculpt partially raised features of the subject matter by using acrylic molding paste with palette knives. The acrylic molding paste dry very fast and in order to avoid the challenging corrections, I would work on one object continuously without breaks. The drying time varies depending on how thick or how tall is the feature. For some it would take up a whole week. I could have just stopped at the dried stage and present it like any other type of relief but I chose to add colors on it, and not only that, the pouring fluid acrylic method which means it has the most difficult controlness. The canvas has to be laid flat in order for the colors being distributed evenly and without flaw although there can be so much freedom in the semi-abstraction. The process can take up to two weeks to eight weeks depending on the size and the composition.
