In this oil painting of a dressage horse, I aimed to capture the 
grace and power of the animal through abstract realism.
 
Using a palette knife, I crafted a textured background with subtle yet strong colours 
that convey depth and motion. I loosely painted the horse and rider, allowing glimpses 
of the vibrant background to shine through. This technique enhances the dynamic 
interplay between the horse and its surroundings, emphasizing its elegant contours 
and muscular strength. The result is a vivid and emotive portrayal, celebrating the 
harmony and fluidity of dressage.
