Caroline Towning - Artist Of The Week

I was introduced to this week's artist's work about six months ago by Clint Goodwin, one of my weekly readers. Clint is an award-winning author who writes historic fiction looking through the eyes of a cavalry horse. Very creative. 

This week's artist is Caroline Towning. She is a great equine artist based out of London.

​Originally from Yorkshire (near Harrogate), she's been around horses all her life. She said she was taught to ride even before she could talk properly. 

She went on to University in Hertfordshire where she studied Digital Art, then went on to work at an animation studio. She worked long hours and there was a lot of pressure. Finally, she got a bit burned out.

In 2015 she decided to follow her dream and become a full-time artist and painter. She bought an easel and paints and got started. 

She paints portraits and horses and wants you to feel the horse's breath on your neck. Actually, she says she wants you to feel like the horse is in the room with you. 

I think she's got something there. I'm happy to present her to you today. 

Here are the places you can find her on the internet.
