Horses of the Wild Wind

“For stern readjustments the wind-horses battle,
And ever the strongest prevail;
The oaks on the mountains their iron arms rattle,
And laugh as they comb out the gale.”
From – ‘Wind-Horses’ by Albert Durrant Watson

This poem could have been written for my latest work. ‘Horses of the Wild Wind’.
This horses painting was inspired by the weather that has been extremely windy here in the South of England.  As I lie in bed at night and listen to it blow, I imagine wild and fearless horses racing across the sky.

The frame I have hand painted in Farrow and Ball’s ‘Railings’ and finished with cold wax which does not mark for a beautiful sheen.  I believe that the frame should look as good as the painting.
Acrylic on board.
