Art

I have loved drawing and horses since childhood - they were and are both passions. In the 90's I became a Reiki Master and my life opened to a more conscious spirituality - an experienced healer, I made the decision to teach Reiki with Animals. In 2004, I helped to bring horse 'therapy' to the UK; we received national coverage, having demonstrated this truly amazing concept of horses helping those with mental and emotional challenges, including children with special needs to a vast spectrum of people from all walks of life, including healthcare providers. During my journey with the horses, I discovered that being with horses in this way can open a channel for children and adults to connect to means of self expression through art, and all my worlds came together as One. Art, Horses and Healing/Spirituality. I have always done art for myself, as a healing thing. Recently however, people have been asking me more and more to sell my art, so I have made a decision to do so and sincerely hope you will enjoy them.

On Woodstock 310 gsm ph neutral paper, it has been professionally mounted using a textured mount on a professional backing board, and celophane wrapped. In addition, this beautiful print comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity. A truly beautiful purchase, and an amazing gift it's size would grace any wall, at 16 x 13.25 inches. (41x 34 cm).

I've always loved both horses & art, and in 2004 I was honoured to help bring horse 'therapy' to the UK. During this beautiful process, I discovered the connection between horses helping humans and my other love, art. Something beautiful and amazing can happen when bringing these two together, and a beautiful creative connection can be made bringing about a wonderful non-verbal means of self expression. I have always painted for my own therapeutic or healing quality, until recently when I was asked so many times if I sold my art that I decided to do so, and here we are.

'Paint' came about inspired deeply within my heart by the many traditions of painting horses, and the beautiful coloured horses of the Native Americans, Gyspy Vanners, coloured cobs and so on. Whether horses have been painted in the caves of old, on porcelain or in ceremony/celebration, man has painted horse since ancient times. During one of the training courses we put on in 2005, as part of the ceremony/celebration at the end of a week long course, we gathered to paint directly onto the horses - the horses knew it was an amazing highlight of our week and behaved so reverently, and impecably.

In watercolour pencil, I hope to convey something of the beauty of the Spirit of Equus, and reflect something of the beauty of art, horses and spirituality coming together as One.

A high quality signed Limited Edition Giclee print miniature of a coloured horse, otherwise known as a 'Paint.' Watercolour pencil painting by myself, Ros Farrell - the original of which was created just a few months ago. (2011). The giclee print is on 'Woodstock' paper, 310 gsm (ph neutral) and as such, will need the same care as any work of art. I decided to frame it in this modern ash panel, the size of which is - 8 x 6 inches. The image itself is 6 x 4 inches. The depth of the panel is around 1.5 inches. (I will be limiting the number of prints in this size to 100).

In 2004 I helped to bring horse 'therapy' to the UK. We demonstrated this beautiful equine facilitated way of helping children and adults with emotional challenges, learning disablities and those with special needs to the public, (including healthcare providers), and received national coverage. As part of this journey, we painted the actual horses themselves in an amazing ceremony which touched everyone so very deeply, - the horses knew this was something very special, and behaved so impecably and reverently, and which was so fitting of the event. Therapuetically, horses and art go hand in hand - there is a definitive connection with self expression when being around horses in this way. Throughout history horses have been painted as part of spirituality and ceremony, whether on the magnificent ancient caves, in the Native American tradition, or on porcelain. A coloured horse is otherwise known as a 'paint', and here I hope to convey some of the magic of 'painted' / painting horses in many forms.

A4 Limited Edition print of a Passion Flower, which I feel adds to Honeysuckle and makes a beautiful collection. These special plants always draw me to them, their jewel like beauty entwined with beautiful petals and climbing along, down or up other plants, walls or shrubs in their own unique way, adds to natures abundant beauty. With this passion flower, I found myself attracted to the pure simplicity of one flower and a few petals as they begin to entwine along a stem, which may then entwine around and with many others.

There will only ever be 50 of these printed, and this will come complete with a Certificate of Authenticity. A beautiful gift, for yourself, or someone you care about. Signed by myself this painting was done in watercolour pencil.

An A4 Limited Edition Giclee print of 'Arabian Paint'. Mounted. Inspired by the horse 'therapy' and the connection to creativity, and a passion for the ancient rock art, I am gathering a collection of painted horses, which I do hope you enjoy. Most of my art is a simple one off portrait of the subject, with little or no background - yet forms part of the texture of the paper, and blends with the materials used - in this case coloured pencils, whilst I tune in to the essence of the subject. It is as though the spiritual and energetic colours within the subject, in this case, this beautiful arab, become more and more obvious to me as I progress with the painting. Here, the colours and shapes show something of this horses Arabian spirit/soul. There will only ever be 50 of these Limited Edition prints available and will come signed by me with a Certificate of Authenticity.

A watercolour pencil painting of a honeysuckle. I have drawn flowers since childhood and one of my favourite is the honeysuckle, with its twining stems and leaves, beautiful flowers and just the most stunning fragrance. There are some beautiful varieties with gorgeous pinks and yellows, yet I drew this one, relatively quiet in terms of colour, and yet one, I hope, which is recognisable in many dwellings as they quietly grow then beautifully bloom on fences, stone walls, porches and trellises - even amongst countryside hedges everywhere.

Limited Edition of 50 prints. A Certificate of Authenticity will be issued and each print will be signed by me. Mounted.
