This video shows the process, from texturing the canvas to adding paint, drips, paint, and more drips! Sometimes, it takes a while to get to the image I have in my head, and this video reveals how the painting evolved and changed along the way!   I started painting in the studio, which only has natural light, so I found the dull days weren't the best conditions for painting in.

In December 2019, my mare Fudge (AKA my Black Bullet) went to stay with friend Frances and her Mum and Dad Katrina Stuart - while I went away over Christmas.  The first day I was away, Fudge had a freak injury and ended up with a 3 inch nail in her hind frog (hoof). Thankfully, Fudge didn't get an infection, and slowly, slowly, she improved. It could have been a very different outcome.  I couldn't ever repay their kindness, so I said I'd do them a painting to say thankyou.
