Police Horse MERLIN

Oil on Canvas 120 x 100 x 4cm

Introducing the first painting (MERLIN) of a new series of work showcasing the incredible horses of the London Metropolitan Police at Old Scotland Yard.
Many of us are familiar with seeing these courageous animals patrolling the London streets or on-duty at major events. However, I have become captivated with the idea of painting them in a way that we don't often get to see - relaxed and off-duty, capturing their incredible beauty and majesty.

MERLIN - a giant with a HUGE personality. I have had the best time painting this guy and the pleasure of capturing him just before his retirement from service at the age of 15. His years on patrol have included prominent roles at many events, which includes leading the crowd down the Mall towards Buckingham Palace at the wedding of William and Kate in 2011.

I have a number of portraits planned in this series - all featuring the magnificent police horses of Scotland Yard. If you are interested in owning one of these future paintings get in touch and we can discuss the various subject and size options.
