Equine Beauty
The artwork is a detailed and textured portrait of a horse created using the technique of wool needle-felting. The horse has a dark brown and white coat with a mane that features strands of black and lighter brown fibers, styled in a flowing, slightly tousled manner. The background is a rich blend of vibrant blues and purples, providing a striking contrast to the warm tones of the horse. The overall composition combines realism with a soft, tactile quality inherent to the felted medium, enhancing the depth and presence of the animal within the piece.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
