Envision Finalist

"Envision" is an oil on linen portrait of a white horse entangled and in frozen motion, capturing beauty and a subtle narrative. The mane was created to flow, as if in motion but also like stuck between worlds of fantasy and reality. The painting is monochromatic, focussing on a white-on-white theme. The subtle changes to the tones through out the painting vary from pink, the gold to purple, gently creating an atmosphere of feminine delicacy. There are undertones of jarring and incorrect elements though, which give a subtle tension to the painting - shadows which are not quite right, fabric that is curling too tightly around the body, tension in the posture.
