Notre Dame Horse Painting Name Inspiration

This Notre Dame Horse painting has a little story behind it. Before I get to that, I want to tell you it was completed prior to the burning of the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral. Being stuck on a name for the painting, I turned to my fabulous Facebook group and several followers agreed it should be named Notre Dame. Since it felt right, I decided to go with it.

Notre Dame Painting Process

At the time I started painting this Notre Dame horse painting, I  was trying different color techniques. Although the color and composition were good, it needed more and ended up sitting for a while, nearly two years before I completed it.

Finally, a super creative mood hit me, and I acted on it. Normally I use more brush techniques often combined with some painting knife, but this painting started off with paintbrushes then completely finished with painting knives.

Inspiration

Janice Laskey was kind enough to provide a wonderful reference photo as the initial inspiration. My love of color and paint did the rest. This product is being framed in a floater frame as soon as the frame arrives.
