"Indigo Freedom 03"

"Indigo Freedom" captures the untamed spirit of a majestic horse through expressive tones of blue and indigo, its wild mane flowing as if swept by an eternal wind. The watercolour’s dynamic brushstrokes and fluid blends create a dreamlike figure, with deep indigo shadows and vibrant blue highlights evoking strength, grace, and movement. Bold splashes and soft washes convey both energy and spontaneity, transforming the horse into a vivid symbol of freedom and the timeless connection between nature and spirit.

"The Spirit of the Horse"  (2017) is a watercolour series by Michelle Ward celebrating the horse's majestic and mystical essence. Reflecting its spiritual significance across cultures, the paintings explore themes of freedom, power, grace, and intuition. With vibrant colours and fluid lines, the series captures the horse’s spirited nature—its love for adventure, independence, and strength. Inspired by the Chinese Horse sign, it portrays charisma, confidence, and a thirst for exploration. The soft, ethereal hues evoke a connection to the spirit world, inviting viewers to embrace the horse as a totem of inner strength, authenticity, and self-discovery.
