Inspired by many visits to my local horse races during winter, to watch beautiful thoroughbreds. After the race, the horses steam as they are cooling down, and on sunny days the low winter light shines through the steam. This beautiful light combined with the exquisite forms of the horses never fails to inspire me.I used a base of pastel primer, tinted with watercolour, and use Unison Colour pastels, hard pastels and pastel pencils. My aim is create the effect of light filtering through layers of air.
