Original Oil Painting – Horse in Motion

This original oil painting captures the raw beauty, strength, and spirit of a horse in motion. Painted with rich, layered brushstrokes, the artist brings the animal to life as it moves freely across an open landscape, its mane and tail lifted by the wind. The warm chestnut tones of the horse contrast beautifully with the soft greens and blues of the background, creating a sense of energy, freedom, and balance.

Oil on canvas allows for depth, texture, and luminosity that can be felt up close, making this piece both powerful and timeless. The confident posture of the horse and the natural flow of movement evoke themes of independence, grace, and vitality.

This painting is ideal for collectors who appreciate fine equine art, nature-inspired works, or statement pieces that convey motion and emotion. It would make a striking addition to a home, office, or gallery space.

Medium: Oil on canvas
Style: Realistic / expressive
Subject: Horse, movement, nature

Original Oil Painting – The Call of the Blue

This original oil painting presents a haunting and luminous vision of connection, memory, and inner awakening. At its center stands a woman formed almost entirely of blue—her figure emerging from swirling currents of color, light, and shadow. Her outstretched hand suggests an invitation: a call toward understanding, compassion, or transformation. Surrounding her are quiet, ghostlike figures, including a child who gazes upward with wonder, reinforcing the painting’s emotional depth and narrative mystery.

The artist’s masterful use of oil paint creates a sense of movement and atmosphere, with layered blues and subtle golds flowing through the composition like living energy. The brushwork is soft yet purposeful, allowing forms to appear and dissolve, as if suspended between the visible world and something unseen. This interplay of presence and absence gives the painting a dreamlike, timeless quality.

Rich in symbolism and emotion, this piece speaks to themes of guidance, innocence, and the enduring pull of hope. It invites viewers to pause, reflect, and find their own meaning within its depths.

This painting is ideal for collectors who appreciate expressive figurative work, spiritual or symbolic art, and pieces that evoke story and feeling rather than simple representation.

Medium: Oil on canvas
Style: Expressive figurative / symbolic
Subject: Human connection, memory, inner light

This painting explores quiet introspection through a seated figure rendered in warm, expressive tones. Simplified form and visible brushwork emphasize emotional presence over realism. The inward posture and surrounding movement suggest a balance between stillness and inner life.

Artist Statement (Short – For This Work)

This work reflects a moment of inward stillness. Through warm color and simplified form, I focus on emotional presence rather than narrative. The figure exists in a quiet space between thought and feeling, where silence becomes a form of expression.

the artist's painting and the mistress of shadows

Buddingspring was known as the "City of Shadows," in which the mistress of shadows represented the natural influences that ruled the world. In this place, all art became sound through her power, representing one tune and spreading depression and evil. That is, until the magical catalyst Allcolour appeared and used her influence to change an artist by the name of Sean—giving him the ability to face the evil Shadows and try to open the world's eyes to the true beacon of hope. However, Sean’s journey to freedom will be filled with danger, adventure, and sacrifice
