"Emerald Grace 02"

"Emerald Grace" exudes strength and elegance, portraying the striking head of a horse in bold black and white. The solid form and clean lines of the horse’s profile emphasise its power and dignity, while the vibrant emerald green background creates a vivid contrast, making the figure stand out with striking clarity. The simplicity of the composition enhances the horse’s commanding presence, with the rich green backdrop adding depth and a sense of vitality. This watercolour painting captures the essence of strength and grace in perfect harmony.

"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.
