The  sport of kings

Saddle up and ride that pony

The name Polo derives from the Balti word for ball -"pulu"

The inspiration for this piece is the intense competition of pony and rider alike

This piece is of polo competitors.

It is A3 sized and I love the action and high intensity of the duel.

There is much still to be done on this piece, but it is one that I love and keep coming back to. 

It has been frustrating though, as I originally intended for it to be a square painting (see images below) but have now decided that it has greater impact as full width and have pretty much had to start from scratch. The left hand horse is more advanced than that on the right.

It is not a commercial balance - I paint to create images that I love and my art has to be exactly as intended.

Knowing that I have packed intricate detail that many may likely never spot, but there is comfort in knowing that it is there and  contributes to the overall image. It will also keep those with a keen eye  occupied and pleasantly surprised for many years to come - be warned that you may need a magnifying glass, as I required one to paint it! 

My limited edition prints are of the highest quality and represent an investment. 

There is so much passion and soul in a painting, rather than a simple photograph and I would hope that you purchase not only as an investment, but to own something of beauty that provides you with great satisfaction and pleasure each time you see it.

It will certainly be a statement piece and generate conversation and perhaps even envy from visitors and friends alike. 

Thank you
