Sun Splash - Original Watercolor Giclee Print

Sun Splash – Haflinger Horse

“Sun Splash” is a piece inspired by warmth, movement, and the quiet beauty of a gentle moment.

This Haflinger felt like he carried the light with him. Even on a chilly day, there was something about his presence that felt sunlit — soft, kind, and steady. I was drawn first to the eye, as I often am — that calm, soulful expression — and let the rest of the painting unfold naturally around it.

When I paint this way, everything softens. The brushstrokes become more fluid, more intuitive. I focus on one place for detail and allow the rest to move freely — light, expressive, and a little playful. The warm tones and subtle hints of color give him that “kissed by the sun” feeling that ultimately inspired the name.

There’s a quiet confidence in this piece — the kind that doesn’t need to be loud to be felt. Just present, grounded, and full of light.

🤍 A Note from the Artist

I always come back to this idea — giving yourself even a small pocket of time each day just for you.

There’s something powerful about slowing down, even briefly. It creates space for creativity, clarity, and moments like this one — where something simple turns into something meaningful.

Please allow up to 3 weeks for shipping as each piece is carefully prepared. Thank you so much for your support and patience.
