Hello and Welcome to my Catalogue of Equine Wall Art

Over the last 20 or so years, my photography has evolved from human portraiture, families, portraits, and newborn babies to abstract via equine portraits and images of horses in the wild.

Now I have a sizeable collection of equine images from different breeds These are presented in various ways which are explained in the following pages.

More detailed explanations are at the end of the document.

How to choose and where to hang it.

Your choice of image and its style of presentation will depend on your interests, your lifestyle, and the environment where you plan to hang the image.

"The moment I saw this image I knew it was meant for me, and I love it."

The equine images

The images which follow can be seen on my website and, if available in the shop, will have a link in this document.

Most of the images of horses which follow belong to Camargue, Lusitano or Friesian breeds.

For each breed, a short introduction precedes the images which belong to that category.

Arabs/Arabians

The Arabian or Arab horse is a breed of horse that originated on the Arabian Peninsula. With a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage, the Arabian is one of the most easily recognisable horse breeds in the world.

Arab Foal The image of this charming foal exists as an artist's proof and also as an acrylic.

The medium greatly enhances the glowing colours of his coat.

His 'dished face' is characteristic of the Arab breed.

The Camargue horse is an ancient breed of horse, indigenous to the Camargue area in southern France. Its origins remain relatively unknown, although it is generally considered one of the oldest breeds of horses in the world.

Friesian Horses

The Friesian (also Frizian) is a horse breed originating in Friesland, in the Netherlands.

Although the conformation of the breed resembles that of a light draught horse, Friesians are graceful and nimble for their size and very versatile.

They can be used in riding for pleasure and in competition, for dressage, driving for pleasure and in competition and even for light farm work.

A number of images of Friesian horses are shown in the catalogue, including the Champion stallion, other younger stallions and a mare and foal.

Icelandic Horses

This handsome, inquisitive horse wanted to get really close to me and find out whether my camera and long lens tasted good.

He made it really difficult to get a good picture, but eventually he was distracted and I was able to get this memorable image of his stunning blonde mane and forelock. The image was taken in the summer and his coat is therefore short and sleek.

Other breeds The Pearl Horse has a particular gene which gives rise to his magnificent mane with its 'ombre' style.

He is trained to stand and wait and come to a whistle like a well trained dog.

His owner's philosophy is that training should never involve pain.

Presentation options

How to choose and where to hang it.

Your choice of image and its style of presentation will depend on your interests, your lifestyle, and the environment where you plan to hang the image.

Many options exist and are considered further in the next few pages

Presentation options

Framed images are a standard approach and to choose the frame yourself may make the most sense: if you already have images alongside which the new one is to hang, you can buy unframed prints which come with a mat surround to enhance the presentation of the image.

Sizes quoted in this catalogue include the dimensions of a mat where one has already been created.

One exception to this is with rather small prints where you may want only a narrow border, or alternatively you may like the idea of a small print in a very large mat surround. These tend to draw people in, to examine the image more intently.

To maintain this flexibility, most of my small prints have no mat.

If the environment where the image will hang is very modern and minimalist, an acrylic may be the best choice, as it is modern and sophisticated, with no frame.

Limited editions explained

Just in case you haven't come across it, the term Limited Edition refers to a restricted number of versions of an image created as Fine Art prints.

It requires an up front declaration of the number of prints that will be produced.

This restriction is verified by a system of certification.

The smaller the total number in the edition, the more value is added and the first print in any edition is extra specially valued.

So an edition of 50 is good, but an edition of 15 is better.

And 1/50 if it is available, is more desirable than 10/50.

My Limited Editions are verified by a certification system. This involves a hologram on the back of the print and a matching hologram on a certificate which is printed on a special type of watermarked paper.

The certificate is provided by the image creator (me), with details of the image.

This is also registered on a special database called MyArtRegistry.

The owner/purchaser's name is attached to the certificate, which authenticates the creation and ownership author of the image.

Therefore, if someone else claims to have created the image or to own it, the certification shows whether this is a valid claim.

This also adds value for the owner.

Limited Editions

These are a traditional, style of presentation They can be unframed with a mat surround, or framed with mat and moulding.

Here is an example of a certificate with its image.

A matching hologram is on both the certificate and the reverse of the image itself.

Here's the certificate number

The hologram will be here

Aritists Proofs explained

An artist's proof is a test print - usually the first print that has been created for any image.

This confers exclusivity and added value.

Sometimes there may be more than one Artist's proof, but if so, this will be indicated on the print.

The notation for an artist's proof is A/P in the bottom left had corner of a print. if there is more than one (and up to 4 is regarded as acceptable), it will be shown as A/P 2 etc.

Some artists never sell their Artists Proofs, keeping them as a physical catalogue of their portfolio.

Others hold the artists proofs until the Limited Edition of that image is fully sold.

This makes them especially valuable and prices can be extremely high as a result.

Acrylics explained

Acrylic images are thin and translucent. The protective material provides a luscious, sophisticated and modern take on art.

The thin layer of acrylic in front of the image gives a luminous quality to the image. Acrylics can be finished in a glossy coating or a matt finish, whichever is preferred. This may be defined by the nature of the image, but can also be selected bespoke.

These are not Limited Editions – though it is possible for a Limited Edition image to be provided in this medium as a bespoke order.

Some of the equine images for which I have selected an acrylic presentation are shown on Page 35.
