Original oil painting by Sophie Harden. Traveling really depicts the speed and motion of horses working up the gallop in pairs. Using white oil to pick out where the light hits the subject and set on a rich green/blue background, this piece really does create an audience. Sophie’s contemporary and fluid technique allows movement to flood the painting, from the explosive energy and grace of horses to the small details that capture a moment in time. Often using a contrast of white oil on bright background colours, Sophie works to accentuate the adaptation of light, making the viewer perceive a 3D object from often just small marks and brushstrokes.
