This swimming horse is an oil and encaustic painting.
Blanca is the name of my first horse that I owned in Los Angeles.
I used to work part-time for a horse ranch that swam horses for their therapy and exercise. This was in Page Springs, AZ and most of the horses were owned by professional cowboys. I took many photos of the horses swimming – for future paintings.
Framed size: 5 1/4″ x 13 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ (133.35mm x 336.55mm) with a light wooden frame. No glass or plexi.
As with any art work please keep it out of the direct sunlight.
An encaustic painting is achieved by melting wax and varnish over a hot plate and slowing applying it while melting it with a hot gun. It’s very time consuming but rewarding. I then paint my image, with oil paint, on top of the encaustic.
