This painting started from sketches of my Tennessee Walker named Tennessee. (Tennessee Walker Horses (TWH) gait instead of trot, so there is no bounce for the rider). She is a very special creature, an amazingly gentle soul, who it appears had a very tough life until a special rescue ranch saved her and then I adopted her.
She is actually a very dark brown but the image I had in my head was of white horses, so for this painting she became white (the magic of paints and imagination).
The second horse is my white Arab named Saffy (her correct colour description is; flea bitten grey). And the Magic Meadow is from my imagination, and inspired by our oak tree meadows on our farm.
Enjoy
